I'm not actually that young, I'm 33. That is young. Health effects (for many things) show up much later, past 50 or even 60. Until then most bodies can compensate for quite a lot of stuff that has gone wrong earlier. If you take cancer rates by age as an indicator you can see age 33 barely registers: https://canceraustralia.gov.au/sites/default/files/statistics/2016/all-cancers-fig1.png https://canceraustralia.gov.au/sites/default/files/statistic...

That's true, though surely there are already signs in your 30's of later health problems (Obesity, etc)

  Obesity is a sign for everything related to (and around) obesity. There is plenty of other things that have no connection with obesity, like drugs, alcohol, or too much sun exposure. Aging brings everything to the surface. Obesity is just one specific area with a cluster of diseases.
