Document Summary

Example: a 19 year old may be a parent or be very immature. Although we also differ physically, cognitively and social when comparing a 25 year old and a. So we can categorize: early adulthood (20"s-30- s) middle adulthood (to 65) late adulthood (after 65) Our physical abilities start to decline from our mid 20"s. After the age of 40 athletes know that physical decline gradually accelerates. But in some cases for early and middle adulthood the physical vigor has less to do with age than with the person"s health and exercise habits. For example a 50 year old could out do a 25 year old in a race. Aging gradually declines fertility of women and men. Women around 35-39 will have harder times getting pregnant. Men have lower sperm count, testosterone level and the speed of erection and ejaculation is lower. Women experience menopause around the age of 50.
