    It’s generally considered between 40 and 60.

    You can argue that 60 isn’t really the statistical middle for most humans. It’s closer to the 3/4 mark. That said, when people say middle age, they usually mean the aforementioned years.

      I was thinking of middle aged as just 40s. But brittanica agrees with you, so guess I’ve been using the term wrong.
