The study, which was conducted by Benenden Health, also found that women continue to focus on their health and appearance until at least the age of 59.
Women were also almost twice as likely to lack confidence in their image, with more than a third unable to say they were content with their appearance.
A further third of the 2,000 men and women polled said they blamed a lack of happiness in contributing to their low confidence.
Of those surveyed, more than half said they physically are not in a good shape, while a third admitted they never bothered to exercise. The same percentage said they had also stopped caring about the food they eat and the amount of alcohol they drink.
When it comes to the men, seven in 10 claimed they don't regularly worry about their appearance, and more than half went as far as to say no longer take pride in their appearance. One in three said they eat and drink what they like and don't really consider health implications in regards to their diet.
For couples, the outlook was not much better, with two-thirds of participants believing it's 'normal' to give up on worrying about their appearance when they have a serious partner.
On average, it was revealed that it takes just 26 months after a wedding, before the average person says they stopped bothering with their looks.
Health was also another issue that many participants said they no longer bothered with. Almost half said they have a constant health issue they've suffered from for a long time, and as such, have given up trying to heal or improve it.
Other factors contributing to letting health and appearance slide include a preference for comfort over style, plus an increasing reluctance to keep up with anything deemed trendy or unfashionable. One in four claimed that keeping healthy and looking good costs too much money and is too big a commitment to make.
A spokesman for Benenden Health is quoted as saying: "Our survey suggests that maintaining our physical wellbeing into our later years simply becomes a lesser priority - influenced by wanting to relax in comfort and not have to keep up with trends.
"And men appear to 'give up' far sooner than women."
