The MRCs National Survey for Health and Development was launched
in March 1946, when thousands of new-born babies were recruited for
the study.
One of its aims is to look at how individuals change over time in order
to pinpoint common experiences that make us happy.
Research by the Oce for National Statistics this month found that
people are least happy in middle age. They also have the lowest levels
of life satisfaction and the highest levels of anxiety.
The same research found that people aged 65-79 tended to report the
highest average levels of personal wellbeing, although levels slip again
as respondents move further into old age.
