Everyone gets older. But it's not just about living for many years; it's about enjoying those years. Even with better doctors and medicines today, people can still have health problems as they age.
Think about older football players in Malta as an example. Many of them have some health troubles, like needing special supports or even devices to help their heart. But they don't let that stop them. They still go out, play, and have fun. This shows us that being active and having friends to spend time with can make us feel good, no matter how old we are.
A doctor named Dr. Rose Anne Kenny studies older people and their health. She tells us that being alone for a long time is bad for our health. If there's too much noise, construction, or traffic outside, some older people might not want to go out. And that can make them feel lonely or sad.
There was a study done in Malta. It found out that older people who lived in busy places with lots of buildings and traffic were not as happy. This is important for those who make decisions for cities to know. They should make sure that cities have open spaces, parks, and quiet areas too. That way, everyone, young or old, can go outside and enjoy.
In the end, while we can't pick our family genes or how we grow old, we can make choices about how we live each day. By staying active, being around people, and living in a friendly place, we can enjoy our older years more.
