Off track a little, but 30s and 40s isn't old IMO. 60 and over IMO is what is classed as old or mature or whatever people want to call it.. I would say 30 to 59 is middle aged or what ever modern term is used these days. Under 30 is young.

Might be simple, but I definitely don't consider 30s old

The title is 'adults' though, not 'old people'. Those in their 30s are definitely adults.

To me it's clear that even 'young people' as used throughout the article is intended as euphemism for 'children' (i.e. non-adults) that's perceived to be less condescending. (Perhaps the author cares too much what children think!)
