Is 40-50 considered middle age?

[Azami]

When I was young, I always assumed that 30 years old was considered middle age. But it seems to be not the case anymore according to what some people have told me (one of them being 30 years old.) If I can recall, life expetancy is somewhere around the 70's with some people living around 100 but not sure about the statistical data on that one.

If 70 or higher is considered to be the life expectancy than I assumed 40-50 would be considered middle age?

30 is middle aged. When you're not in your 20's anymore your youth is over.

Most people start getting gray hair in their 30's. Just because people live longer these days doesn't mean we stay young longer.

50s = older man/woman

Women if their 50's can still be pretty hot, I saw quite a few nice ones on a dating site i used to go to.

When Samantha carter (Amanda tapping) was a full colonel in Stargate Atlantis she was seriously hot, i think she was in her late 40's early 50's then and i would honestly love to have a coffee with her.

Life expectancy will be going down just like everything else as we slide into idiocracy.

Middle age was considered 30 back when most people died in their 60's, and only a few lived to be 70, and it was extremely rare to ever find a person who lived to be 100.

In recent pre-Covid days, a great many people were quite healthy at 40 or 50, and many people are living into their 90's and there are lots and lots of people living to be 100 and we get the extremely rare person who has lived to 120. So now, middle age is 40 - 50.

With the advent of Covid, I think the average lifespan will be in decline for some decades to come, because there are many long-term affects that are going to show up for a lot of people who've had it and recovered, so "middle-age" will be lowered back to 30 or so.

Life expectancy in most of the developed world is in the low-80's, but as someone else here said, that average is dragged down somewhat by people who die young from accidents, disease, etc. So I'd say middle-aged is 40-50.

Yes - i guess nowadays if it´s all about being political correct and expressing things less on point, to sound better - middle age is probably 40-60 and means: You´re old and it´s getting downwards from now on, even if it´s called progress: towards dementia and retirement home. And: You probably can´t have a midlife crisis if not being middle-aged. For women there´s an excuse for it - for men: not so much, even if it happens generally around the same age...

I mean the crisis won´t be called end-life crisis if the people would die with an age of 60 in average. Also: how to sell all that anti-age stuff, if You call it that way? That would be bad advertising - and people in that age usually have the money...
