Late Adulthood

During childhood, adolescence, and – to a lesser extent early adulthood, interest in death revolves more around life after death than around what causes a person to die.
Physical Development
The most obvious signs of aging are changes in the face. Even though women can use cosmetics to cover up some of the telltale signs of aging on the face, many cannot be camouflaged, as changes in other areas of the body can.
The hands also give away a person’s age. Like the face, they change more with aging than the rest of the body, and these changes are also less subject to camouflage.
Cognitive Development
On almost any measure of cognitive development, individuals older than 60 do less well than individual younger than 60, and individuals in their late 70’s and 80’s perform even less well.
When people get older, they seem to see art and nature in a deeper, more appreciative way.
Psychosocial Development
The disengagement theory is the most controversial theory of development in old age. This particular thing explains that in old age the individual and society mutually withdraw from
each other.
