1. Around middle adulthood, people go through physical changed like decreased senses, weaker muscles, and other age-related effects. During this time, women start going through menopause which cause them to act or behave differently. There is definitely a double standard in society in that area. Many times men are seen as attractive at that age, while women pressured to look young and keep up with their health. This often happens because of cultural norms valuing youth and looks more for women then they do with men.

2. Many physical changes are being impacted during middle adulthood. Of course, some changes may be biased due to your sex. For example, hearing is more likely to happen first in men than women because most men are generally surrounded by louder noises throughout the years damaging the eardrums. A couple of factors that do not vary based on sex are the climacteric and vision. Regardless of what you do to prevent it, having bad vision is inevitable as you grow older your vision is going to get worse because of how much strain is used on them for everyday activities like reading, writing, looking at television, etc... As for the climacteric, that is also bound to happen because they are changes in the body that can not be prevented from happening. For example, the level of estrogen and progesterone production for women is going to decrease. The testosterone levels for men are going to decrease as well.
