90 year old with young body?

Question

i read this somewhere. a man stayed physically and medically fit all of his life and he is around 90 years old and is capable of doing what a young person can. is this case true.

Answer 1

Yes my Dad is 90 years old . He is still walking one hour everyday since he was 70.He is also employed at the museum ,as a curator.He is very knowledgeable on computers.He is also a superb Dancer.It just goes to
show if you stay healthy,eat healthy you can live longer.
He can outdo me in computers.I walk 2 hours a day
and lift weights on M-W-F. I eat oatmeal every day.
I am 55 years old. I am just stating fact,you can do anything you put your mind to and stay away from booze,
drugs and cigarettes.

Answer 2

If it's true, and I'm not saying that it is or isn't..... I would have to assume that this person's fitness had to do with his genes more than anything else.
And you'd have to expound more on what you mean by "capable of doing what a young person can". There would be many things that a 90 year old could not do that a person in their 20's could do, regardless of being physically and medically fit.

Answer 3

All I can tell you is that my great uncle climbed up and down a ladder, and painted our 2 story house in a day and a half when he was 80.
