Gerontophobia is the fear of age-related self-degeneration (similar to gerascophobia), or a hatred or fear of the elderly due to memento mori.[citation needed] The term comes from the Greek γέρων – gerōn, "old man"[1] and φόβος – phobos, "fear".[2] Gerontophobia has been linked to thanatophobia as fear of old age can be a precursor to fear of death.[3] Gerontophobia can be caused by stereotypes of elderly people displayed in the media.[4]
