No, there’s no doubt in my mind that the median age of a president is greater than the median age of the general population, but that in no way implies that old age “runs deep” among presidents, which I take to mean that it’s a common thing.
About half are less than 55 and half are more than 55. Most are somewhere near 55 (since the distribution conforms to a bell curve). 55, in my opinion, is not “old age”, but your mileage may vary.
