Usually, but not always. But an active lifestyle certainly increases your chances of a pleasant life later on.

Ayup. Rheumatoid arthritis since 16, adult onset MD since my 20's, I'm actually holding up better than most about 10 years either side of my age just because i keep mobile. The real eye opener was when i found out out of my entire family i'm the only one who can not only touch their toes, but put their palms flat on the floor when standing. I get my late-60's inlaws not doing it, but my SIL hadn't cracked 40 (i'm 47). None of us are what would classically be considered fat.

I've never been able to do that, even after months of trying to do just that. And I'm very much not fat, just tall.

palms is a very much hammy flex thing, but you should generally be able to touch your toes. Barring obvs things like a wildly out of whack leg to arm ratio

Hmm, maybe I'm actually a monkey...
