Adulthood is generally the longest stage of life, potentially lasting for up to 80 years, or even longer.
The major stages of the human lifecycle include pregnancy, infancy, the toddler years, childhood, puberty, older adolescence, adulthood, middle age, and the senior years.
Late adulthood is generally viewed as age 65 and older, but there are incredible variations in health and lifestyle between the “young old” and the “oldest old,” who may be well into their 100s.
It is said that childhood is the best phase of our life, yet not for everyone. But throughout time, we learn how to live with every emptiness in life.
Late adulthood is the stage of life from the 60s onward; it constitutes the last stage of physical change. Average life expectancy in the United States is around 80 years; however, this varies greatly based on factors such as socioeconomic status, region, and access to medical care.
Middle Age Adult = 40-59 yrs. Senior Adult = 60+
6) Adulthood:
Here, human beings are sexually mature and capable of reproducing. The body is fully developed by now, and the adult gains experience and responsibility. Adults have full mental and social development by this stage.
He describes a person's life in 12 stages: Prebirth, Birth, Infancy, Early Childhood, Middle Childhood, Late Childhood, Adolescence, Early Adulthood, Midlife, Mature Adulthood, Late Adulthood, Death & Dying, and Beyond Death (now I'm a bit confused, because I just listed 13 stages, but that's how the book is laid out!) ...
An expert weighs in on the years that make or break each person's future. The 10 years from 18 to 28 comprise the most pivotal decade in a person's life. Decisions made during that period disproportionately shape a person's future life trajectory—and mistakes made then have life-long consequences.
childhood, period of the human lifespan between infancy and adolescence, extending from ages 1–2 to 12–13.
Visions and Hallucinations
Visual or auditory hallucinations are often part of the dying experience. The appearance of family members or loved ones who have died is common. These visions are considered normal. The dying may turn their focus to “another world” and talk to people or see things that others do not see.
Physical, mental, and behavioral changes are common. In the week or two before death, the dying process speeds up. They may start being confused and periodically not making sense. Their bodily process may slow down or become erratic, but the person may also appear restless.
A conscious dying person can know if they are on the verge of dying. Some feel immense pain for hours before dying, while others die in seconds. This awareness of approaching death is most pronounced in people with terminal conditions such as cancer.
Late adolescence (18-21) is the last step to adulthood.
The beginning of early adulthood, ages 18-25, is sometimes considered its own phase, emerging adulthood, but the developmental tasks that are the focus during emerging adulthood persist throughout the early adulthood years.
Early adulthood (age 18–30 years) is the life course stage when prevalence of overweight and obesity increases the fastest [1].
The earliest life forms we know of were microscopic organisms (microbes) that left signals of their presence in rocks about 3.7 billion years old. The signals consisted of a type of carbon molecule that is produced by living things.
Decade #5 – 40s
Life is cumulative. If you didn't struggle in your 30s and didn't make some decisions, the 40s might even be tougher for you, unless you say, “God, I need your help.”
Explanation. There are 13 levels of organization. In sequence, they are represented as atoms, molecules, organelles, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organisms, population, community, ecosystem, biome, and biosphere.
In one large study from the Brookings Institute, for example, scientists found happiness was high for 18- to 21-year-olds and then dropped steadily until about age 40. But past middle age, the pattern began to reverse—gradually climbing back up to its highest point at age 98!
