In the context of this post it is 2 (though you shouldn't have chosen a derogative).

"Decreptitude" is descriptive, not derogative. Decrepit: wasted and weakened by or as if by the infirmities of old age (Merriam-Webster Online).

That's decrepitude. Your use with "t" implied a derogative with "creep". But it seems to have been a typo. Sorry for misinterpreting this.
