In a society that often idolises youth, ageing can trigger fears of losing relevance, beauty and vitality – and a recent Age UK survey of 2,121 UK adults aged 50-65 highlights this concern.
The research, which used Kantar online polling, found that nearly half (46%) of midlife respondents fear getting older, and almost two-thirds (64%) worry about whether they’ll still be able to enjoy life as they age. In addition, more than half (56%) expressed concerns about others, assuming they’re less capable as they age.
