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.
Report Abuse. Someone is elderly to you who is 20 years older than you are. If your 20, old people are in their 40's or older. If you are 40, old people are in their 60's or older. If you are 60, old people are in their 80's or older. So on and so forth.
