Are people less or more happy when they get older？A study in 2018 found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age 50.In fact，it found that by the age of 85，people are happier with their life than they were at 18.
Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study.His team found that levels of stress were the highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25.（1）DD
Happiness was the highest among the youngest adults and those in their early 70s.But the people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their 70s and 80s.The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older.（2）GG
The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children，being unemployed or being single.But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and wellbeing related to age.
（3）AA One theory is that，as people get older，they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions.They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
（4）EE In another study，people in their 80s reported the fewest problems with the quality of their sleep.The original goal was to confirm the popular belief that aging is connected with increased sleep problems.（5）FFBut except for that，people reported that they felt their sleep quality improved as they got older.
A.So why will happiness increase with age？
B.Researchers surveyed more than 150，000 American adults.
C.At that time，the people were between the ages of 18 and 85.
D.Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their 50s.
E.Happiness is not the only thing that apparently improves with age.
F.The survey did find an increase during middle age，especially in women.
G.However，women at all ages reported more sadness，stress and worry than men.
