Good news-you'll probably feel like you know when you're around age 60. That's the age when people report feeling that there's the most meaning in their lives, and they have the least need to search for meaning, according to a recently published research. The research also found that as people's sense of meaning in life rises, so does their well-being. "People with purpose in life are physically and psychologically healthier," said Dr. Awais Aftab, a psychiatrist, who led the research. Aftab and his colleagues used data from a study of adults in San Diego County that recruited （招募） a large number of people aged 70 and older. This survey included a question about the level of meaning people found in their life and the level of their search for meaning. The 1, 042 adults included in the study also answered questions over the telephone about their mental and physical health. The results showed that both sense of meaning and search for meaning tend to be U-shaped over a person's lifetime. Presence of meaning starts low in the 20s and gradually rises to a peak around age 60, on average, before declining again. The search for meaning is a mirror image: It starts high in people's 20s and drops to an all-time low around age 60 before climbing in older age. "Young adults in their twenties and adults in their thirties are actively seeking out careers, friendships,and romantic relations hips," Aftab wrote in an email to Live Science. People in their forties and fifties usually have more established careers and relationships; many of them have families and children. After age 60, with retirement and increasing health issues, the established sources of meaning in their lives begin to fade and people tend to start searching for other sources of meaning. 1.
