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?

Perhaps old people think they don't need attention of anyone anymore

But is it the attention of others that makes people pay attention to taking care of themselves? Shouldn't it be to be healthy and feel the best we can?

Perhaps it could be like ... for example when you join a university you go well dressed for 2 semesters than you get a little tired of it and say what ever u just go whatever you are wearing ...
