Elderly and Baby Boomers

When do Baby Boomers become know as elderly? Terms like older persons, older people, older adults, older patients, older individuals, persons 65 years and older, or the older population are ways to refer to the elderly, as well as seniors and the aged.

The term ‘elderly’ often carries more than just a numerical age; it encapsulates a significant stage in life characterized by both challenges and achievements. Understanding who falls under this category, and the diversity within this group, is crucial as societies worldwide adapt to an increasingly Aging population. Internationally, organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations (UN) typically define ‘elderly’ as anyone aged 65 and over. However, this age threshold can vary significantly from one country to another, influenced by social, economic, and health factors.

As we grow older, we want to embrace and integrate the elderly into all facets of life, because today the elderly are our parents and tomorrow the elderly will be us.
