Definition
- Determining when a person is considered old can be based on a variety of factors, including physical health, chronological age (i.e., actual age), and how successfully a person is able to function in his or her environment. Within the context of aging, establishing when a person becomes old, or very old, depends on who or what is being considered. [Source: Encyclopedia of Human Development; Oldest Old Age]
