he is old
To grow old, become elderly; describes both the process of aging and the state of advanced age. As an adjective or substantive, it commonly refers to a person of advanced years—typically male, but occasionally female—or, rarely, an object described as old. The word may also denote social status associated with age, signifying not only physical aging but wisdom, seniority, or authority acquired through experience.
