Why do people sometimes as they age tend to not take good care of themselves?

It seems many people give up on their personal appearance as they age. But why? Do you think it's due to not feeling well, depression, or what?

I have been told that many people just care less about their appearance as they get older. Maybe it is to do with maturity or being in relationships. I personally take better care of myself now that I am older but I wear makeup a lot less often.

Maybe it is that they get content in their relationships and lose some aspect of themselves as a result
