A recent New York Times story calls a 69-year-old woman elderly. Philadelphia Metro considers 70 to be elderly. When NPR ran a story recently about a 71-year-old midwife, some readers objected to the word elderly in the original headline.
It's no surprise that the older people get, the longer they think it takes for a person to reach old age: 1  On average, adults between the ages of 30 and 49 think old age begins at 69. 2  People who are currently 50-64 believe old age starts at 72. 3  Responders who are 65 and older say old age begins at 74.
