It is according to their state of mind all through their life, their lifestyle, active or not. Their family, loving or not. Many things add up to how a Senior will feel when they reach into their later years. Not all elderly people get sick. There was a 90 year old women on Regis and Kelly the other day who one the award for the most interesting guest. She runs marathons, still and has not had a sick day in the last 30 years. On another station they have centurian birthdays every day, the oldest last week being 109 and the youngest 102. Most of them lived on their own up to their 100's.
