If they don't have members over 65, then using them in research would end up leading to false data, or untruth. If they have people over 65 and it's significant enough to warrant including them, then include them.

For example, if they have 5 members out of 1000 who are 65, then what's the benefit of including someone over 65 over someone who is 62?

In theory, theory and practice are the same.
In practice, they are not.
