A pensioner is a person who receives a pension (cash payment), which is paid upon reaching a certain age or on disability and loss of a breadwinner.

A prosperous old age is when a person who has reached a certain age can carry out workable activities, engage in sports, his own health, family, and participation in public life.
With dysfunctional old age, older people lose their ability to work, are seriously ill, some become aggressive, constantly complain to others or engage in self-discipline.
