Your Peak Ages - Best Times in Your Life for Different Things

Here Are The Ages You Peak At Everything Throughout Life. Aging can seem like a scary prospect, but a wealth of scientific studies have found that youth isn't all it's cracked up to be. There are plenty of cases in which human beings peak well into middle and old age. Teenagers, for instance, may have vitality on their side, but older people are generally more psychologically stable. And so it goes with several phenomena people experience as they age.

Many of the points mark the middle of an age range that scientists have identified, which means they are all determined by averages. Some are also surveys, not controlled trials, so there is a possibility the self-reports don't capture the most accurate picture.

But in many cases, the numbers keep cropping up for a reason, which is that life isn't a downhill slide from youth.

Learning a second language is easiest when you're about 7 or 8.

Brain processing power peaks at 18.

The ability to remember unfamiliar names peaks at about 22.

Women are most attractive to men at about 23. And men's attractiveness to women seems to get better with age.

Life satisfaction first peaks at 23.

Strength peaks at age 25.

The peak age to settle down is 26.

The average elite marathoner is 28.

Bone mass peaks at about 30.

Chess players peak at about 31.

You're best at learning new faces when you're about 32.

Nobel Prize winners make their big discovery at 40, on average.

Women's salaries peak at about 39, and men's at about 48.

Your understanding of other people's emotions peaks in your 40s and 50s.

Arithmetic skills peak at 50.

Life satisfaction peaks again at 69.

Vocabulary peaks in your late 60s or early 70s.

Men and women feel best about their bodies after 70.

People really do get wiser as they get older.

It turns out life really is the best classroom. A team of psychologists asked people to read about a conflict, then asked them questions about it. The scientists analyzed the responses for characteristics like being able to see from someone else's point of view, anticipating change, considering multiple possible turnouts, acknowledging uncertainty, and searching for compromise.

They found that the oldest group they studied — people who were between 60 and 90 — did better than other ages on almost every count.

Psychological well-being peaks at about 82.

In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, scientists asked people to picture a 10-step ladder, with the best possible life on the top rung and the worst possible life on the bottom rung.

The oldest group they studied (82- to 85-year-olds) gave the highest average rung number, about 7.

People are most likely to make big decisions when their age ends in a 9.

There really is something daunting about approaching a round-numbered birthday. Researchers looking at people who were 29, 39, 49, or 59 found that they were more likely to make a big life change — good or bad.

They found that these "9-enders" were over-represented in groups of people seeking to have an affair, people killing themselves, and people running a marathon for the first time.
