I agree! Thank you for coming back with data, and I'm sure we'll agree that if a 1/4th of those over 70 have mobility issues, we should not blanket-blame the whole lot for personal failings. Sure, most of them probably /should/ have exercised more, but a good chunk got dealt a bad hand. I don't want to blame the elderly for bad health. I want to blame the editorialist for bad reasoning.
Idk I'm just old as shit and hate it when someone about my age goes on and on about their problems that are 99% lifestyle related. Like they're more able bodied than me and it pisses me the fuck off cause I did a lot of work to avoid keeling over decades earlier, meanwhile they're just annoyed they have to walk at all cause its boring for them or something.
