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.
By that year, as many as 1 in 5 Americans could be elderly. Most of this growth should occur between 2010 and 2030, when the baby boom generation enters their elderly years. During that period, the number of elderly will grow by an average of 2.8 percent annually.
