Preferred term

middle age and death  

Definition

  • To understand the relationship between middle age and death, these concepts must be situated in their cultural and historical context. In the case of people in the United States who are currently middle age, their historical beginnings are located between the late 1940s and the early 1960s, in that demographic cohort whose ideas, assumptions, values, and styles defined the era that became known as the baby boomers.
