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 harmful stereotypes of elderly people displayed in the media^[4]
