Description The fourth age basically embodies all of the fears of ageing; it brings frailty, helplessness, and loss of autonomy. For an active individual in the third age, people in the fourth age are the “the others”. The greatest fear and concern for older adults is the loss of independence and personal autonomy according some studies. There are many ways of defining the fourth age based on various principles. The basics use chronological age. The cultural one characterized the fourth age not by chronological age, but as the period of final infirmity, decline, and death. Our paper shows the relation between health decline and age using data SHARE 2010.
