“Elder persons,” “older persons,” “elderly,” “old age persons,” “aged people,” and “older people” are terms used to define people in the higher age strata (https://www.who.int/healthinfo/survey/ageingdefnolder/en). “Elders” are defined as persons aged 65 years and older (Crews & Zavotka, 2006). For health care and research purposes, elders are often subdivided into the young-old (65–74 years), old (75–85 years), and oldest (85+ years) (Crews & Zavotka, 2006). According to Smith et al. (2008), the number of elders in each category is increasing throughout the world and these elders are surviving longer than ever before in human history, pushing the world into an era of population aging. Population aging means an increasing median age in a population due to declining fertility rates and rising life expectancy (Asian Development Bank, 2019; Ravi, 1999; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_aging).
