Turns out the weight we put on in middle age is all about life style changes and has nothing to do with aging. https://newsbots.eu/@ScienceDaily/106745671435360330

I take it (from the content of the article) that your remark is sarcasm. That was hard to pick up on without clicking through.
I guess there may also be some question about how middle age is defined. I have the feeling that the definition of "young adult" has been edging upward... which I sometimes suspect might be motivated by a desire tocontinue to include millennials in this category...

This quote from the article threw me off: "Aging goes hand in hand with so many other physiological changes that it has been difficult to parse what drives the shifts in energy expenditure. But the new research supports the idea that it's more than age-related changes in lifestyle or body composition."
