climacteric  

Définition(s)

  • The term climacteric was used by the ancient Greeks to identify the critical years in a person's life, and is commonly used by medical researchers and doctors to mark the menopausal period in women and the similar period in men's lives. Astrologers in the ancient world in Europe used numerology and star patterns to ascertain when those times would affect individual people, often seeing lives in multiples of seven years, with a person's 63rd year said to be the Grand Climacteric, an age that many men and women approached with care, as evidenced by comments made by the Roman emperor Augustus.
