again.......what constitutes an 'elderly' person?

doesn't a 16 year old think that 40 is old?

Old is a moving target///as you say, at 16, then 40 is old...at 25 likely 55 is old, and so on.
Truth is, old should be nothing but a word and the true determination be an individual opinion.
Then there are age guidelines for so many things...retirement, AARP, Medicare, Senior Discounts.....
those are ages that other humans have set for those specific life points, but in no way should be
the milestones that define elderly/old.
