quadragenarian.
But don't use the word because it's so obscure no-one else will know what it means.

There is no word for someone between the age of 40 to 49 except their is a saying, "You are in the Prime of your life" Being 40 something means that at this stage you should have learnt enough to pass on the quality of life to your children.

Baby Boomers!
peeps born between 1946 and 1965

If you are between 40 and 49 you are a quadragenarian. If you're Joe average , that would make you quadrageneric. If you are a rich daddy you had better be quadragenerous.

Hitting 50. Keep in mind, though, that 60 is the new 40.

Something like a quatrogenarian I think....well, someone between 70 and 79 is a septogenarian, and someone between 80 and 89 is an octogenarian!

I am fed up with this assertion that older people are necessarily more mature, wise and even moral in their outlook than younger people. It's absolute nonsense. The type of education, upbringing and your individual personality have more bearing than age.
Though older people have had more time to learn from their mistakes, that doesn't necessarily mean they have learnt from them or that they are in any position to recitify any mistakes they have made. It's better not to make any mistakes at all- there are some young people who have more talent in their little finger than quite a few older people.

People aged 40-49 years are called quadragenarians! [kwod-ruh-juh-nair-ee-uhns]
Out of interest, I thought that you'd also like to know that people aged:
50-59 years= Quinquagenarians [kwing-kwuh-juh-nair-ee-uhns]
60-69 years= Sexagenarians [sek-suh-juh-nair-ee-uhns]
70-79 years= Septuagenarians [sep-choo-uh-juh-nair-ee-uhns]
80-89 years= Octogenarians [ok-tuh-juh-nair-ee-uhns]
90-99 years= Nonagenarians [non-uh-juh-nair-ee-uhns]
100 years+ = Centenarians [sen-tn-air-ee-uhns]
These names come from the Latin names for the numbers 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100.
Hope this is what you meant when you asked the question!
