Old, and young for that matter, are not defined as absolutes but more are relationships. It all depends on your point of reference.

In the US and Europe, the so-called "senior citizens" are those older than 65, and there are a great many individuals who live into their 70's and 80's, as life expectancy has climbed steadily over the last 100 years.

80+

But an "old" person can have a young spirit and a young person can be "old."

It would depend on who you talk to and where. the adjective "old" is a matter of perspective.
