LONDON—Middle age is miserable for many, according to a study using data from 80 countries showing that depression (a feeling of sadness and hopelessness) is most common among men and women in their 40s.
The British and U.S.researchers found that happiness for people in 72 countries ranging from Albania to Zimbabwe follows a U-shaped curve(曲线):Life begins cheerful before turning tough during middle age and then returning to the joys of youth in the golden years.
“For the average persons in the modern world,the dip in mental health and happiness comes on slowly, not suddenly in a single year,’’ Andrew Oswald at Britain’s Warwick University, who co-led the study, said.“Only in their 50s do people emerge from this low period.”
About eight nations---mostly in the developing world—did not follow the U-shaped pattern for happiness levels,Oswald and his colleague David Blanchflower of Dartmouth College in the United States wrote.
“It happens to men and women,to single and married people,to rich and poor, and to those with and without children,” Oswald said.“Nobody knows why we see this consistency.’’
One possibility may be that people realize they won’t achieve many of their ambitions at middle age,the researchers said.
Another reason could be that after seeing their fellow middle-aged peers begin to die,people begin to_________ and embrace(拥抱)life once more,researchers speculated.
The study’s findings generally reflect previous research that shows people gain a sense of satisfaction as they age,said Laura L.Carstensen,director of the Center on Longevity at Stanford University.
“Shrinking time horizons tend to change people’s goats.”she said.“We predict that people will experience more emotional satisfaction as they age.”
