Interesting article/research by Nielsen Norman Group Report titled Middle-Aged Users' Declining Web Performance discusses Web Usability for Senior Citizens.
The research found that "current websites are twice as hard to use for seniors as they are for younger users. Probably not that surprising, since Web designers are usually fairly young. However, the Web does not have to be this hard for seniors. The research found many specific guidelines that can make websites easier to use for seniors if they are followed during the design."
