Most of the octogenarians are found in the old age homes.
We love to visit our grandparents who are both octogenarians and still living in their old house in our village all by themselves.
There are special privileges provided by the government and charitable organisation for octogenarians, nonagenarians and centenarians in honour of their contributions to our society.
