Britain's National Health Service warned against looking at this study and believing it to be 100 per cent true. The researchers looked at populations in 39 European countries, so this is good news for Europeans. The study was not a worldwide one so perhaps not everyone in all countries can say they are middle aged when they are 65.

The IIAS said: "Since life expectancies have increased over the past several decades, and are continuing to increase, people once considered 'old' should actually be viewed as more middle aged." We are also healthier, we have better diets, we exercise more and we have more money to live a nicer lifestyle. Why? The biggest reason is that we are living longer. A study from the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIAS) in Austria and Stony Brook University in New York say middle age now starts at 60 or even 65, or older. However, new research says we have to change this. For the past 100 years, people believed middle age to be around 50 years old.
