The survey conducted by a British healthcare company, Bupa, covered some 12,000 people in 12 countries in June and July.

More than two thirds of all respondents in China believed they are getting old when they reach the age of 60 while globally a majority of over 65s feel themselves are still young and healthy.

France emerged as the most mentally young nation as some 32 percent of people said the old age starts at the age of 80.
