Detailed explanation-1: -Many retirees relied on their work or job situation to bolster self-esteem and to feel valued. Added to the job loss is the ageing factor which can aggravate the entire process, leaving a retiree feeling less attractive, less capable and perhaps lacking confidence in themselves.

Detailed explanation-2: -Retirement is a major transition of late adulthood. The retired person must eventually accept a more leisurely life, whether desired or not. He or she must also continue to live in a worker’s world, in which retirees are viewed as spent or devalued.

Detailed explanation-3: -Old-old (75-84). Adults in this age period are likely to be living independently, but often experience physical impairments since chronic diseases increase after age 75. For example, congestive heart failure is 10 times more common in people 75 and older, than in younger adults (National Library of Medicine, 2019).

Detailed explanation-4: -Rowe and Kahn stated that successful aging involved three main factors: (1) being free of disability or disease, (2) having high cognitive and physical abilities, and (3) interacting with others in meaningful ways.
