Middle Adulthood: Physical Development

The examination of middle adulthood begins with a comprehensive look at the physiological changes that take place as men and women move beyond age 40.

It is at this time of life that hair begins to turn grey and thin, the skin becomes drier and more wrinkled, and as fat is redistributed, the shape of the body begins to change.

These changes, along with those that take place in vision and hearing, trigger a process of self-examination that culminates in transforming one?s self?perception.

The impact that lifestyle choices have upon one?s overall health and well-being is also discussed, along with insights into why making changes in diet and exercise can be so difficult to accomplish at this stage of life.

The video studies changes in the male and female reproductive system and includes a discussion of sexuality and menopause as it is experienced by both men and women.
