Middle age

Middle age is the period of a human's life beyond young adulthood but before the onset of old age. The exact range is subject to academic debate, but commonly the term is used to denote the age range from around 40–45 to around 60–65, although it may begin earlier and end later. This phase of life is marked by gradual physical, cognitive, and social decline in individuals as they age.
