Elderly

"Elderly" is a concept that cannot be absolutely defined, as it has different meanings in different societies and historical periods. The United Nations refers to those aged 60 and over as "older persons", while ISTAT and the Ministry of Health speak of people aged 65 and over. In 2018, during the National Congress of the Italian Society of Gerontology and Geriatrics (SIGG - Congresso Nazionale della Società Italiana di Gerontologia e Geriatria), an adjustment to 75 years was proposed. Given the increase in average life expectancy at birth (85 for women, 82 for men in Italy), SIGG argues for a distinction among people over 65 between those in the so-called third age (characterized by good health, social integration and access to resources) and those in the fourth age (characterized by dependence on others and physical decline). In this ontology, the elderly are all people over the age of 65.
