How old is a middle-aged woman? Is 50 years old middle-aged or old?
However, in medicine, we often refer to people over 60 as the elderly. But this concept is constantly updated.
According to some ancient human Feng Shui books, the age of women is divided into several periods, namely puberty, adolescence, middle age and old age.
Female puberty is 1 to 14 years old;
The puberty of women is 15 to 28 years old;
The middle age of women is 29 to 42 years old;
Women over 43 are old.
The Huangdi Neijing also records the age division of the above women.
Of course, this is only the record of ancient people, especially the arrival of China's aging society and the extension of people's average life expectancy. It can be said that at the age of 50 or even 60, it is still very energetic.
And with the enhancement of health care awareness, our physical fitness has really improved greatly. Therefore, China is also actively exploring the flexible retirement mechanism. From the social environment, we think that it is possible to enter the old age stage at least at the age of 60, but it should be extended appropriately according to people's conditions.
People's age is divided into psychological age and physiological age.
In fact, people's age includes two aspects, physical age and psychological age. According to the latest age, 45-59 years old is middle age, 46 years old is not old, but just entered middle age; A 46-year-old woman feels old, but she is actually tired.
Physiologically speaking, as a special group, women will have a special period after middle age, which is between middle age and old age, and that is the so-called "menopause". During this short period, women's ovarian function gradually declined, leading to a series of problems related to menopause. Men also have menopause, but it is not as obvious as women.
The average menopausal age of women in China is 49.5 years. Most women will have irregular menstrual cramps after the age of 45, which may be accompanied by hot flashes, sweating, anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, irritability and even depression, and will gradually improve until about one year after menopause. Therefore, this transition period is also called perimenopausal period, which is also called "menopause" in the medical sense.
A 46-year-old woman may be in perimenopausal period, and may have various symptoms related to perimenopausal period, but don't worry. If it is not too serious, her daily life can be adjusted under the guidance of a doctor, which can also play a very good role in improving. If the symptoms are serious, you need to receive certain medication or medical intervention. Of course, we must find a professional doctor to evaluate it.
In short, the question of how old you are mainly depends on the maintenance of the day after tomorrow and your own mentality. As long as the mentality is young, even an 80-year-old man still has a childlike innocence.
Miss Qian believes that no matter how old you are, being old or not is secondary. As long as you are healthy, you are blessed!
Finally, I wish everyone good health.
