Sexagenarian

Octogenarian

Septuagenarian

Nonagenarian

Let’s break it down:

- Sexagenarian refers to someone who is in their sixties, meaning between 60 and 69 years old.

- Octogenarian means someone in their eighties (80–89).

- Septuagenarian is for people in their seventies (70–79).

- Nonagenarian is someone in their nineties (90–99).

So, if you’re talking about a 60-year-old, “Sexagenarian” is spot on. That’s the most precise word for the age group you described.
