Abstract
Actually there is currently no universally recognized age threshold to define the term "old people," the majority of developed nations have recognized and reported that the age of 65 is a definition of elderly people, primarily as a construct equivalent to the traditional retirement age. Furthermore, the notion of elder patients might be better defined by a person's active participation in society or other socially constructed markers rather than by age. Furthermore, a cut-off definition of 65 years and older was used in the majority of earlier research. This present study will evaluate the scenario in terms of life style related factors and trends of DM in elderly patients in KSA. Study will be based on previous studies conducted in the period of 2015 to 2024.
