AARP, formerly the American Association of Retired Persons, is an interest group in the United States focusing on issues affecting those over the age of fifty.[3] The organization, which is headquartered in Washington, D.C., said it had more than 38 million members as of 2018.[4] The magazine and bulletin it sends to its members are the two largest-circulation publications in the United States.
AARP was formed in 1958 by Ethel Percy Andrus, a retired educator from California, and Leonard Davis, who later founded Colonial Penn's insurance companies.[5][6] It is an influential lobbying group in the United States.[7][8] AARP sells paid memberships, and markets insurance[9] and other services to its members.
