I am 65, and definitely NOT "older."

And, I bet when I am 85, I will not be "older" either!

Words like "older," "elderly," "younger," etc., are not very accurate
or descriptive words. I much prefer simply making a statement such as

"A 23 year old man"

or

a "75 year old woman"

or simply leave "age" out of the entire equation.
