Well-being of adults

  • Studies show that most adults' happiness declines through their 30s and 40s, then hit a low in their early 50s.
  • After that, studies show that, in wealthier countries, most people's contentment starts to increase again in their 50s, until about age 70.
  • After 70, some people stay happy, while others get happier until death.
  • Men, in particular, see their happiness decrease after age 75.
  • Researchers set out to find what drives the unhappiness of people after age 75. In short, it is irrelevance.
  • Senior citizens who seldom feel useful are nearly three times as likely as those who frequently feel useful to develop a mild disability.
