A quadragenarian is a person in the age group 40 to 49 years old.
This term — along with quinquagenarian to denote someone 50 to 59 years old — appeared in most English-language dictionaries as recently as the 1960s, but since then it has often been omitted, suggesting that it is no longer in conventional use.
