The survey also suggests similar patterns in stress, anger, and sadness. People who are 22 and older seem to experience a continuous decline in their stress levels as they age—the lowest point of stress manifesting at around 85. Angsty teens will find their anger levels decreasing from age 18 onwards, and while feelings of sadness increase gradually through the years, they peter out at age 50 until the mid-70s, reprising ever so slightly in the mid-80s.
The results of the survey were of so much interest to experts that a new study based on its findings was actually carried out. We at FN were compelled in very much the same way—and we asked 12 fabulous forty- and fifty-somethings to ponder this question: “What is the best thing about getting older?” See the gallery below for their candid, confident, and completely age-defying answers!
