Old people are viewed as either angry bitter people, or gentle people who pass down wisdom, the similarity between these two expectations is that old people are unhealthy and are burdens on society.  The data gathered from the research supported most of it based on deaths and medical studies we have concluded that most old people are unhealthy, and that a large portion of them live alone.  Our perceptions of them are true at their roots, but we tend to exaggerate these traits for comedy or to argue  how they se resources without contributing to society.
