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.
The US Census bureau defines elderly as 65+, and most other US Government programs use this definitition, with the notable exception of Older Americans Act programs, which define elderly as 60+. (Most adults I know over the age of 60 or 65 prefer not to use the word elderly at all, with any age range definition.)
