  • Intergenerational Interaction

    • The comparative analysis underscores pronounced generational contrasts in lifestyle structuring and entertainment consumption between a 72‑year‑old man and a teenage girl (Sanchita C). While the Senior’s routine is anchored in health‑preserving habits and passive media, the Teen’s daily life is fluid, digitally saturated, and oriented toward active content creation. Nonetheless, shared cultural values and family ties provide fertile ground for intergenerational engagement. Future research should expand the sample to include multiple families across socio‑economic strata, and explore intervention designs that harness overlapping interests to promote holistic well‑being.

    Population ageing and the digital proliferation of the 21st century have produced pronounced generational gaps in lifestyle and entertainment (Strauss & Howe, 1991; Pew Research Center, 2023). Understanding these gaps is essential for designing inclusive policies, targeted marketing, and family‑centered health programs.
