What it means today to be old, elderly, adult or elderly person seems to be a topic subject to analysis and reflection rather than a rigid or reductionist definition. Aging continues to set certain physical, cognitive and social limits, which, although lower than those expected for the whole, cannot be ignored.
It is true that we are still demystifying what we believed an older person could or could not do, which expands social expectations in this regard. This would have to be accompanied by a social understanding of certain changes that are not modifiable at the moment.
