From various internet sites:

Q: Does the idea of “middle age” really mean anything or is it just an artificial construction?

A: Middle age is “cultural fiction,” a story that we tell about ourselves. But the point is not that it has no meaning. In fact, just the opposite. The term has very powerful connotations in our culture. But those meanings are not fixed, they change over time. In the 19th century, midlife was frequently seen as the height of one’s power, influence and wealth, rather than as the beginning of decline, as it has most frequently been depicted in the 20th century.

According to the Oxford English Dictionary middle age is between 45 and 65: "The period between early adulthood and old age, usually considered as the years from about 45 to 65."
