The movement of the baby boomers into the middle ages made the 45-65 age cohort the largest and the fastest growing segment of population in the first decade of the 21st century. This demographic expansion will have multiple consequences for ageing society. This paper aimed to provide an overview on biology of midlife transition. Physical characteristics, midlife-specific morbidity and mortality were described with focus to sexual dimorphism in physique and gender gap in mortality and morbidity. These characteristics made midlife a separate and unique stage of life. In-depth knowledge of this life stage may be useful in identifying and solving problems of ageing individuals and population.

The aim of this article is to present the results of empirical research on the existence and distribution of kinship in the social networks of women and men in three groups: young adults, middle-aged adults, and younger seniors. The research also included the question of the respondents’ perception of kinhip. The study was conducted in 2021 on a sample of 109 adult persons aged 20–69. The analysis revealed that the morphology of the inner circles of the social network is primarily determined by two variables, namely stage of life and gender, and not by the kins’ biographical attainability. Family life is organized and centered around the woman and her first-, second-, and third-degree relatives. Bonds with relatives are seen mainly as a source of benefits (permanence, support, open communication, norms, values, and identity) rather than as a space of opression.

Artykuł prezentuje wyniki badań empirycznych na temat obecności krewnych w sieciach społecznych kobiet i mężczyzn w trzech fazach życia: wczesnego dorosłego, dorosłego w średnim wieku i młodszego seniora oraz sposobów postrzegania więzi z krewnymi. Badania były prowadzone w 2021 roku na próbie 109 osób w wieku 20–69 lat. Analiza pokazała, że morfologia wewnętrznych kręgów sieci społecznej jest uzależniona od płci oraz fazy życia, nie od biograficznej dostępności krewnych. Życie rodzinne jest zorganizowane i skupione wokół kobiet i krewnych pochodzących ze strony matki. Więzi z krewnymi są postrzegane raczej jako źródło zasobów, trwałości, wsparcia, otwartości komunikacyjnej, norm, wartości i tożsamości, niż jako przestrzeń opresji.
