Should "60 years or age" be "60 years of age"？It is for the first time I witnessed a grammatical mistake or typo in the introduction of an important original article on the homepage of the prestigious medical science magazine the New England Journal of Medicine, who is a global leader in the medical community.

The problem for "a typo in the introduction to an original article" without "on the homepage" is that the reader would misunderstand it to be a typo in the original article rather than in the piece on the homepage written by the editor.

The NEJM editor made the mistake.

My use of "introduction" might be misleading. I remember there is a particular word in English that describes such a piece. I just can't remeber the exact word for the time being.

As I observed for a decade, the NEJM doesn't update its homepage that way like media do because it is serious science.
