les personnes déjà dans le troisième âge


Explanation:
La population immigrante agée se divise en trois groupes: " les personnes du troisième âge à long terme" qui ont immigrés au Canada entre les âges de 40 et 49 ans, "les personnes du troisième âge à court terme" qui sont arrivées entre les âges de 50 à 59 ans, et "les personnes déjà dans le troisième âge" qui sont arrivées à 60 ans ou après.

Hope that helps.
