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.
There's nothing elderly about her, and these days, not even her age!. Another wrote: I was 70 in Feb and I certainly do not feel elderly ... Elderly is at least over 80 and as someone else suggested maybe 95.. Editors decided to change the headline.
