I'm 67 and recently took one of those surveys, and it told me my health/fitness age was 45.

What a load of rubbish! 21 years ago I was a hell of a lot fitter/healthier than I am now. I have more aches and pains, more visits to the doc, am slower and less strong, take longer to heal after falls, but am not on any regular medicines other than an asthma inhaler.

I am older and often, but not always, feel older, and I am still more likely than not to pop my clogs in the next 20 years but the good thing is I still enjoy life, and worrying about ageing is just going to bring forward that day.
