The nature of middle adulthood: changing in midlife, defining middle adulthood. Middle adulthood the developmental period that begins at approximately 40 years of age and extends to about 60 to 65 years of age. It is a time of declining physical skills and expanding responsibility. A period in which people become more conscious of the young-old polarity and the shrinking amount of time left in life. A point when individuals seek to transmit something meaningful to the next generation. A time when people reach and maintain satisfaction in their careers. Late midlife is now described as the age period between 55 to 65 years. It is characterized by the death of a parent, the last child leaving the parental home, becoming a grandparent, preparing for retirement, and in most cases actual retirement. Many people experience their first confrontation with health problems. Physical development: physical changes, health and disease, mortality rates, sexuality.
