Canadians are more likely to feel physically and mentally older than their actual age compared with nine years ago, a new survey finds.

Twenty-five percent of Canadians say they feel physically older than their chronological age while 21 percent feel mentally older, according to a survey by Angus Reid. That compares with 23 percent and 19 percent in a similar survey conducted in 2015.
