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.
Younger elderly people (age 65 to 79) make up about 75 percent of the elderly population in the United States. While 48.0 percent of the elderly overall fall below twice the SPM threshold, the older elderly (age 80 and older) are far more likely to fall below that threshold.
