But still…
I'm early 60s. I take no prescription meds. I still don't need glasses. My AME and PCM are still pretty amazed that at my age I'm not on at least 2-3 meds like most of people my age.

I've always been active. I surf and eat well although on the road it's not easy. I'm pretty sure I'd be good to go at 67, 70 or whatever. As someone posted earlier if you're at 60 and not on anything, you're probably good to go for some time.

My weight is well under control (6ft 2" and 175 lbs). It's not hard. There's plenty of us out there that don't comport to some of the venom spitting vipers on here about us " older" folks. Like to see them when they hit 60+ thirty years from now. But I'll be pushing up the daisies by then.
