Middle aged to me implies more than just literally "half of your life expectancy" which is why I think it's your 50's and 60's.
I feel like middle age is a time between being youthful and active and being so old you need assisted living or a nursing home. Someone who's in their 40's (and certainly 30's) can still hang with younger adults assuming their in halfway decent shape. Heck, there are even NFL and NHL players playing in their 40's!!
If you're in you're 50's or 60's, on average you certainly don't need to live in a nursing home. However, that's when you will most likely feel the need to slow down a little. Brush up on your tennis and golf game maybe, rather than heavy weight training or running etc.
Of course there are always exceptions to the rule on at every age but still... middle age is an average
