The one thing my mom noticed and I've noticed is people are healthier in middle and old age than they used to be. Mom said when she was a kid (circa 1950) people in their 50's and 60's were usually just shot. I have friends pushing into their 70's who are very good shape. So I think the years of decline and exit are getting compressed. People are living healthy longer. You can of course be unlucky and you can obviously wreck your health. Hint, damage you do to your health after 40 doesn't go away.
