Yes, this is the case in many popular settings - Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk and Wheel of Time for instance all appear to have gone through this and arrived back at Adolescence. Dragonlance and Dark Sun could be categorized as in the "Senility" stage, or in the case of Dragonlance perhaps coming...

How much grog could a grognard nard if a grognard could nard grog?
