Didn't realize I was elderly at 65--knew I was getting older, but thought elderly started somewhere in my 80's. Turns out I am 1A--not 1B as I thought. SuziQ

Suzi, You're right, "elderly" does start somewhere into the 80s, or 90s. Getting older is not so bad, it's been scientifically proven that people who have more birthdays live longer.

This is an interesting article as it discusses results for the over 65's.
Note that the IL28B gene test is quoted, but only using the SNP rs8099917, rather than rs12979860 (commonly used in the USA). See my article on Gene testing in General Information.
Also note that all patients were Genotype 1b.
I'm surprised that the study including patients who were F3-4 and F4, but only 24 weeks of treatment was given. Cheers.
