92% of people in nursing homes are in which age group?

• A. Over 65
• B. Under 65
• C. 65 or older
• D. 75 or older

Answer: (C)

The main idea is recognizing what age group “older adults” means in healthcare. In nursing homes, the standard definition of older adults is 65 and older. So a statistic saying 92% are in this age range reflects that almost all residents are at least 65, including those from 65 up to whatever upper age.

Why this is the best choice: 65 or older includes everyone who is 65, 66, 67, and so on, which lines up with how healthcare defines the population served by nursing homes. The other options miss that broad, inclusive cutoff: under 65 would exclude many residents; 75 or older would omit younger residents who are still eligible for and living in nursing homes; over 65 excludes those who are exactly 65. Therefore, 65 or older is the most accurate and representative category.
