advanced age

Late in life

Advanced age refers to the later years of life, typically implying someone is elderly or approaching the end of a normal lifespan.

The phrase often appears in medical, legal, or insurance contexts where age-related decline becomes relevant: Despite his advanced age, he remained sharp.

It's a polite or formal way to note someone is old without stating a specific number.
