Detailed explanation-1: -Old-old (75-84). Adults in this age period are likely to be living independently, but often experience physical impairments since chronic diseases increase after age 75. For example, congestive heart failure is 10 times more common in people 75 and older, than in younger adults (National Library of Medicine, 2019).
Detailed explanation-2: -About 1/3 of the adult US population are grandparents. More than 70% of middle-aged and older people will become grandparents. A considerable number of grandparents will live long enough to become great-grandparents–and some will even become great-great-grandparents.
Detailed explanation-3: -The stages of adulthood examined here include: Early Adulthood (ages 22–34). Early Middle Age (ages 35–44), Late Middle Age (ages 45–64), and Late Adulthood (ages 65 and older).
Detailed explanation-4: -The average age of becoming a grandparent is 50, although many individuals become grandparents even earlier, perhaps even in their 30s. 1 These younger grandparents may face a number of challenges. Becoming a grandparent at a young age can scramble all expectations for the second half of life.
