Secondly, the notion that it's "all downhill" after you hit 40 is a complete myth. There's no reason that most people can't remain physically fit and healthy (without drugs) for most of their adult lives.

Half of the population has some sort of chronic condition. Most of those people are 45 or older. I've also read around 60% of people near age 60 have 2 or more chronic conditions. I am closing in on that age and thankfully don't have any. I've been with the same employer for quite a while and have seen coworkers age and consume healthcare. It is a small sample size, but it seems like it matches up with health statistics I've seen.

I'm sure that's true. I'm equally sure that percentage has grown dramatically over the past 50 years. That is one of the root problems that needs to be addressed.

Where did you hear this?

Simple allergies are a chronic condition. Was that included?
