Words to do with ageing

Found this new word - 'Octogenarian' - today.  Found that it meant a person from the age of eighty-something to ninety.  It sparked off my dormant interest in vocabulary words.  I know it is tough to differentiate and it could be tested: words like toddler, teenager, adolescents, and such.

I did a search and thanks to answers.com, I finally found the exact words - look under the sub-header "Dividing the lifespan".

Quite an enriching read!
