Legally, it's 65 isnt it? But i consider people the age they feel and act like. I know a woman who is 60, and likes to ride her Harley and show off her tattoos, is SHE elderly? haha!

When their pants go above their belly buttons. Prune Juice is a tell-tale on. Canasta, Bridge, Dominoes... Dentures are an everday topic. They have the date on the calender circled when they can get their restaraunt discount. Every sentence starts with "you remember" or "Who are you?" If both the previous statements are answered with "No I'm David, your son." etc...

When their hair turns completely white/grey does it for me.

You know... It goes up with YOUR age. I had trouble believing my grandmother was elderly at 91. My other grandmother, on the other hand, had Alzheimers, but she still didn't "act elderly". My parents are 76 and 74 (for a couple more months), and I don't know that I consider THEM "elderly". I think it's more in attitude. When you HAVE to go to "assisted living" or a nursing home, I would guess that's when most all would agree that you're elderly.

I think it tends to change (higher) every year but I would say elderly means retired. Perhaps nowadays 70 is the benchmark but who really knows.
-
Only when you know that you can out run them:)

Elderly, in their 60s.

AARP membership and "classic" cars LOL

70 plus.

I guess it depends on the person! I am sixty and still active with youth and the young ones still call me Marc. When they call me sir then I guess they will let me know I am elderly in their eyes anyway!
-
when their skin looks very very old and when they are writing checks reallly really slowwwwwwww holding up the line lol...thats when i think they are elderly around the age of late 70s...and so on
-
I think they're elderly when they start moving very slowly and if they stop going out or doing moderately demanding activities they would've engaged in when they were younger (i.e. gardening).
-
I'm 65. Call ME "elderly" and I'll jap-slap you until yer GRANDCHILDREN'S ears ache! Heh!
-
When they start acting their age instead of their shoe size, my Mother is 67 and my Da is 74... and they still act laike teengaers when they are together... I think they'll be elderly when they hit about a hundred.
-
I think this is an elastic concept - the boundaries get pushed further back the older you are! My dad aged 85 used to talk about "the old folks" - he didnt consider himself to be one of them!
-
I'm 70! Watch it, you ABers!
-
When they are. Happens anywhere from 50-100.
-
when they lose their zest for life
-
When they start waiting for the deathly knock on their door. I know lots of older ppl who I would not consider elderly, but I also know a few who I definately would!
-
When they're eligible for senior discounts.

Man, have you ever seen kids with progreria? They become elderly when they're still kids. And they go bald, have arthritis, their skin sags... All the usual old age symptoms. So I think it varies a lot between 10 and 80+ I knew a man who played tennis every day at age 84, and I gave it up when I was 35. Go figure. http://bp0.blogger.com/_TjQtbgIlN_g/Ro1GBsKHDEI/AAAAAAAAAiU/inuQ2jjpYLE/s1600-h/progeria1.jpg

Strange thing -they are always about 10 years older than I am.
-
When they start acting like it.
-
when they complain about loud music, forget why they went into the kitchen, wear clothes from 20 years ago and have hair growing out of their nose. oh, just described myself. damn
-
When they act like they are elderly.
