“…Due to increasing longevity, some authors have suggested an even more detailed division into three distinct groups in the fourth age: old (75-84), old-old (85-95), and oldest-old (95+) (Cohen-Mansfield et al 2013).…”

“…For example, discernible physical ability, social activity, and health declines are experienced throughout late adulthood (Berlau, Corrada, & Kawas, 2009;Buono, Urciuoli, & De Leo, 1998;Cohen-Mansfield et al, 2013;Talbot, Metter, & Fleg, 2000;Verbrugge, Gruber-Baldini, & Fozard, 1996). Also, in comparison to adolescents, older adults are more likely to have social controls such as marriage or children (and grandchildren) that inhibit criminal involvement (He, Sengupta, Velkoff, & DeBarros, 2005;Smith & Drew, 2002;Stelle, Fruhauf, Orel, & Landry-Meyer, 2010;Tamborini, 2007).…”

Low self-control, gender, race, and offending in late life

Self-control theory has been one of the most scrutinized general frameworks of crime for over 20 years. A majority of evidence pertaining to the theory, however, is derived from samples of teenagers and young adults. Relatively little information exists regarding whether self-control explains offending among people in late adulthood. As such, the generality of the framework has yet to be fully examined. This study uses a representative sample of people aged 60 years and older from interviews conducted in Arizona and Florida. The current study tests two key propositions regarding the generality of the theory: (1) the extent to which self-control accounts for the relationship between demographic variables and criminal offending, and (2) the invariance thesis which stipulates that self-control will have a uniform effect on offending across social groups. The analyses reveal two findings regarding theoretical generality: (1) low selfcontrol explains late-life criminal behavior but does not account for the relationship between offending and gender, and (2) low self-control has an invariant effect on offending across gender and race when measured behaviorally. Taken together, the analyses address important elements of the supposed generality of self-control theory and extend the framework's scope to the explanation of offending in late life.

“…However, with increasing life expectancy, the traditional definition for an elderly population has become too heterogeneous, and a more detailed classification is needed. Recently, elderly patients were sub-divided into three life-stage groups: the young-old (aged 65–74), the middle-old (aged 75–84), and the old-old (aged over age 85) [2]. …”

Short- and Long-Term Mortality Rates of Elderly Acute Kidney Injury Patients Who Underwent Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy

et al. 2016

BackgroundThe world’s population is aging faster and the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) needing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is increasing in elderly population. The outcome of AKI needing CRRT in elderly patients is known to be poor. However, the definitions of elderly used in the previous literatures were diverse and, there were few data that compared the long-term mortality rates of these patients with middle aged patients. This study was aimed to evaluate this issue.MethodsThis study was a single-center, retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent CRRT from January 2013 to December 2015. The patients were divided into the following four age cohorts: middle-aged (55–64), young-old (65–74), middle-old (75–84), and old-old (≥85). The short- and long-term mortality rates for each age cohort were compared.ResultsA total of 562 patients met the inclusion criteria. The short-term mortality rate was 57.3% in the entire cohort. Compared with the middle-aged cohort, the middle-old cohort (HR 1.48 (1.09–2.02), p = 0.012) and the old-old cohort (HR 2.33 (1.30–4.19), p = 0.005) showed an increased short-term mortality rate along with an increased SOFA score, acidemia and a prolonged prothrombin time. When we analyzed the long-term mortality rate of the 238 survived patients, the middle-old cohort (HR 3.76 (1.84–7.68), p<0.001), the old-old cohort (HR 4.40(1.20–16.10), p = 0.025), a lower BMI, the presence of liver cirrhosis, the presence of congestive heart failure and a history of sepsis were independent risk factors for the prediction of long-term mortality.ConclusionCompared with the middle-aged cohort, the middle-old and the old-old cohort showed an increased short-term and long-term mortality rate. However, in the young-old cohort, neither the short-term nor the long-term mortality rate was increased.
