The World Health Organisation (WHO) had declared that 65 years of ages is still considered young.
Before, based on the Friendly Societies Act (1875) in Britain, old was defined by age of 50. The UN has actually not adopted a standard requirement however recently 60 years of ages was referred as the border age to the word ‘old’. However, the health organisation had done new research just recently, inning accordance with average health quality and life span, and defined a new requirement that divides human age as follows:
– 0-17 years of ages: underage
– 18-65 years of ages: youth/young individuals
– 66-79 years old: middle-aged
– 80-99 years old: elderly/senior
– 100+ years of ages: long-lived senior
