    Study Notes

    Emerging and Early Adulthood: Physical Development

    • Emerging adulthood spans from approximately 18 (the end of adolescence) to 45 (beginning of middle adulthood).
    • Recently, developmentalists have divided this age range into two stages: Emerging adulthood (ages 18-29) and established adulthood (ages 30-45).
    • This period (18-45) is characterized by peak physical capabilities, the development of mature cognitive abilities, financial independence, and intimate relationships.
    • This period has seen an increased tendency for individuals to postpone settling into more 'adult' commitments, such as marriage, career choice, and childbearing.

    Emerging Adulthood Defined

    • Emerging adulthood is the period between the late teens and late twenties, ages 18-29.
    • Emerging adulthood is distinct from both adolescence and adulthood.
    • Individuals in this age period show reduced dependence compared to childhood and adolescence but have not fully embraced the responsibilities of adulthood.
    • This is a period of exploration where individuals can change directions and explore potential life paths.
    • Emerging adulthood is characterized by five key features:
      • Identity exploration
      • Instability
      • Self-focus
      • Feeling in-between
      • Possibilities
    • Individuals moving into this stage tend to be more considerate of others and their needs.
    • This does not preclude self-focus as they feel less obligated to others than adolescents.

    Established Adulthood

    • Individuals between 30 and 50 are considered in established adulthood.
    • This age group differs from emerging adults in terms of career development, intimate partnerships, and child rearing.
    • They are typically in the peak of their social and professional life.
    • They are completing education, forming partnerships, and raising families.
    • This period is marked by the greater commitment to a career, family, and relationships.

    The Physiological Peak

    • Early to mid-twenties marks the peak of physical development for most individuals.
    • Includes muscle strength, reaction time, sensory ability, and cardiac function.
    • Individuals in this age range are typically healthier compared to earlier and later stages of life.
    • In this peak, athletes and peak physical performance are highly prevalent within this age group.

    Chronic Illnesses in Young Adults

    • Prevalence of chronic conditions in 18-34 year olds is notable, with obesity, depression and high blood pressure being prominent examples.
    • These conditions often have root causes like lifestyle choices made during adolescence and early adulthood.
    • It is crucial to address these issues actively with appropriate interventions to improve and maintain health.
    • Chronic illnesses, such as high blood pressure, are often more prevalent for individuals in this age range than for those in other life stages due to factors such as lifestyle and genetics.

    Causes of Death in Young Adults (25-44 years)

    • Accidents are the leading cause of death.
    • Poisoning from opioid overdoses ranks high among accidental deaths..
    • Significant proportions of deaths are attributed to heart disease, suicide, cancer, and homicides.
    • COVID-19 was among the top 10 prevailing causes during this period, which is noteworthy given the demographic.
    • Causes of death like accidents and overdoses can relate to societal trends and experiences at the time.
