Today I would say 70. Although with science advancing the way that it does, it might be 80 in the next 20 years.
I say 70 because that is the age I associate with the onset of medical issues that hinder your quality of life from arthiritis, osteoporisis, heart disease to forgetfulness, loss of muscle mass, etc.
I too don't see a difference between that age for men or women.

With every new era, comes a different meaing for the word old. Some people used to think 40 was old, but today 40 is like the new 21 to many people. It all depends. I think I'd have to officially say that you start to become old around the age of 70. Although, one's behavior can also define our age or the stereotype of what age is.

90-100 or more! When you reach your 40s, you don't see the 50s and 60s as old anymore as you see it fast approaching. And you FEEL old by then. But, then you can still do a lot of things that the younger ones can do.

That really depends on the individual, I know some 70 year old people with more energy than 20 year olds. God bless

"OLD?" Does that mean like stale bread? We do not get old, we only age like fine wine or mellow out like good cheese. Our bones might give out and our systems begin to shut down, but as long as we think young we are not :"OLD." I've played golf with my dad and he whupped my butt. I'm 65 years old.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'll be old and proud of it when I have three digits in my age, but not one second before.

Depends on how they take care of themselves. I've seen old at 40 and I've seen young at 70!
