Middle age

Middle age, or middle adulthood, is the age range of the years halfway between childhood and old age.^[1] The exact range is subject to academic debate, but the term is commonly used to denote the age range from around 40-45 to around 60-65 years.^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7] Many changes may occur between young adulthood and this stage.^[8]^[9]^[10] This phase of life is marked by gradual physical, cognitive, and social decline in individuals as they age.

We define middle age as "the period of human life between youth and old age, sometimes considered as the years between 45 and 65 or thereabout."Given the different views on when old age begins, it shouldn't surprise you to learn that the exact range of middle age is not set in stone either. In general, our age range of "45 to 65" is around the age range generally used to say when middle age supposedly occurs. Polling shows that people may think middle age begins later or earlier depending on who you ask.
