TLC had a TV program about a person born with rapid aging.
These ppl are born and their bodies age faster than our hampsters. They experience the growth rapidly, and then experience the decay of the body rapidy.
Old age is at 59 1/2 (retirement age) for the ppl who've smoked, drank, and drugs --- basically taken their bodies 4 all their bodies are worth. For those with normal genetics, and have taken care of their bodies, is old age is 70 1/2 (IRA Distribution age).

I dont think there is any specific age. As people get older our bodies and organs begin to wear out. This means that many things can go wrong and cause death.

There is no limit. Dying of old age is really just when your body fails more often than it can self-correct. That can technically happen at any age.
I guess it depends on your definition of old, doesn't it?

Depends on what you consider old age I guess. That usually means that they have died of natural causes because no on is going to live forever.

you can't put 'old age' as a cause of death on a death certificate anymore. so i guess you can't die of old age at any age.
