Only for the beginning of old age.

Very old starts 75-80.

Many living into their 80s and 90s with a [b]greater number reaching triple digit[/b]s. [/quote]

Really? If that's true, 50 is a teen.[/quote]

Ha - a lot of teens will be going through menopause if that is your cut off for adolescence … 😂

50s are not that old though. But 65 is considered the beginning of old age. I think the beginning of very old age is 80. The median age is still under 40 but has increased from 30-39 over past few decades.

In 2024, there are an estimated 101,000 Americans aged 100 and older, and this number is projected to more than quadruple to around 422,000 by 2054, according to the Pew Research Center.
