The 10th annual UnitedHealthcare 100@100 survey found that centenarians and 10-year-old kids have very different ideas about what is considered “old.”
Each year, UnitedHealthcare surveys 100 centenarians to find out their thoughts on health and well-being. This year they included the kids in honor of the 10th anniversary.
On average, those over the age of 100 think that 87 is when someone can be considered old. But the youngsters on average think 46 is old. These results aren’t necessarily surprising, pretty cute actually, and they put into perspective what it’s like to be looking forward in time as opposed to looking back.
