65 Or Older Demographic in Kenya

Stresses that may affect people aged 65 or older more than other age groups

• Health and physical decline
  More frequent illness, chronic pain, reduced mobility, and worries about independence.

• Bereavement and loss
  Higher likelihood of losing a spouse, siblings, friends, or peers, which can bring grief and loneliness.

• Retirement and income pressure
  Fixed income, pension concerns, rising cost of living, and fear of not having enough for healthcare or daily needs.

• Loss of role or identity
  Some people feel less purposeful after leaving work or when family roles change.

• Social isolation
  Fewer daily interactions, living alone, or reduced mobility can increase loneliness.

• Caregiving stress
  Some older adults are still supporting a spouse, adult child, or grandchildren, which can be emotionally and financially draining.

• Digital exclusion
  Struggles with phones, online banking, telehealth, or work-style communication can create stress and frustration.

• Fear of dependency
  Worry about becoming a burden on family or needing long-term care.

• Housing and safety concerns
  Challenges with stairs, accessibility, transport, or feeling unsafe at home or in the community.
