Report Age Title For Free

Age should be reported as part of the description of participants in the paper's Method section. Be specific in providing age ranges, means, and medians. Avoid open-ended definitions such as ?under 18 years? or ?over 65 years,? unless referring, for instance, to broad research study eligibility criteria.

Although there are different ways to classify this population, some studies have classified elderly adults between the ages of 65 and 74 years as youngest-old, those between ages 75 and 84 years as middle-old, and those aged over 85 years as oldest-old [5].

Specific terminology Children: 4 to 12 years. Teenagers: 13 to 19 years. Young people: 16 to 24 years. Adults: 19 years and older. Older people: use 'over-65s', 'over-75s'.

*The National Institute on Aging's guidance considers 65 and older an older adult, but understandings and definitions about this age range vary by source. When an official or organization uses one of these terms, ask for specifics.

Avoid vague terms such as babies, school-aged children, or teenagers, without first defining them (e.g., infants ages 5 months to 1 year, children ages 6-12 years, adolescents ages 13-17 years). When possible, use a specific age or age range.

Age group [age_group] Newborn [newborn] Up to 3 months old. Newborn sizes are often identified by the age range in months (0?3) or just ?newborn.? Infant [infant] 3?12 months old. ... Toddler [toddler] 1?5 years old. ... Kids [kids] 5?13 years old. ... Adult [adult] Typically teens or older.

When writing about age, exact ages or age ranges (e.g., 15?18 years old, 65?80 years old) are more specific than broad categories (e.g., under 18 years old, over 65 years old). Also include the age mean and median in addition to the range of ages to increase the specificity of the reporting.
