How to use "Sexagenarian" in context?
One hundred words are not enough to adequately describe sexagenarian, so I'll have to break it down into more manageable chunks.
A sexagenarian is someone who is over the age of 70. This can be a bit of a nuisance, as they tend to experience a whole slew of miscellaneous issues that weren't an issue for younger people. For one, their bodies start to break down a bit more, meaning that they experience more pain and difficulty in activities like walking.
Also, because they're no longer as nimble as they used to be, they may have a harder time climbing stairs or moving around in tight spaces.
