Yeah it is amazing to not only be mobile but coherent. I've seen people much younger (70s) not able to get around or even understand you or having trouble communicating. Some people here go into an old age home in their 50s.
My own grandmother was dead by age 64 of a stroke, her husband (my grandfather) died age 52 of emphysema. My other grandparents were in an old age home by their 60s died at ages 85 and 92. My mom is 80 and pretty mobile buys groceries but has bad hearing but won't get hearing aids. My Dad died at age 78 of IPF a lung disease after a 20 year battle.
Since my Dad died I'm amazed at elderly who walking around no glasses, no mobility issues. Then again some elderly I knew looked good but had many problems they just didn't complain of their ills, then one day their died in their sleep (a few did like that).
