Stages of Adulthood
- Adulthood is divided into three stages: Early (18–40 years), Middle (40–60 years), and Late (60+ years).
- Each stage brings new social expectations, roles, and responsibilities.
- Adulthood is a period of adjustment involving changes in attitudes, interests, and values.

Factors Influencing Nutrient Requirements
- Age affects metabolism — energy needs change with aging.
- Males generally need more energy than females due to higher muscle mass and metabolic rate.
