@jlzamanian Dear Jennifer, HsapDv:0000087 is actually obsoleted, please consider
[Term] id: HsapDv:0000258 name: adult stage namespace: human_developmental_stage def: "Human developmental stage that refers to a sexually mature human." [Bgee:curator "Bgee"] comment: HPO (Human Phenotype Ontology) considers HP:0003581 (adult onset) as 'at the age of 16 years or later', but this adult stage directly follows the pediatric onset (HP:0410280) defined 'as before the age of 15 years' (see https://github.com/obophenotype/human-phenotype-ontology/issues/6099). To be consistent, we consider adult stage as starting at 15 years. synonym: "mature stage" EXACT [] xref: UBERON:0000113 xref: HP:0003581 is_a: HsapDv:0000000 ! life cycle stage relationship: part_of HsapDv:0010000 ! postnatal stage relationship: immediately_preceded_by HsapDv:0000264 ! pediatric stage property_value: start_ypb "15.0" xsd:float
We were wondering the justification for defining HsapDv:0000087, human adult stage as "Human developmental stage that refers to an adult who is over 19."
We are finding that this the "over 19" criteria does not match the definition we are repeatedly encountering in human research studies, where "adult" is defined as "over 18".
