I think it’s weird when the elderly divorce. What’s the point? [/quote]

They're not elderly. [/quote]

He is, as clinically speaking 65 is the start of elderly.[/quote]

Naaahh, he isn't.  [/quote]

Whatever your opinion, in terms of the medical field and within government agencies that deal with the population, 65 is the threshold for elderly.

65-74 is considered early elderly, while 74+ is considered late elderly. Considering life expectancy is late 70s for males and early 80s for females, this makes perfect sense.[/quote]

OMG he just qualified for Medicare this year - he's not elderly. Also the medical field used to have the age of 55 as the threshold for elderly because its about your increased chance of dying not just aging.

Times change, with healthier lifestyles and better medicine, people are living (and reproducing) much longer.

[i]And finally, if your chance of dying within the next year is 4 percent or higher, you might be considered "very old" or "elderly." The above chart shows that this threshold for men increased from about 65 in the 1920s to 76 today.

Note that by these definitions, "old" in the 1920s -- 55 -- is now considered "middle aged" today, and "very old" in the 1920s -- 65 -- is now considered merely "old" today.[/i]
