I suspect that because most younger people don’t like to think too hard about the realities of getting old, they don’t have a good grasp of just how terrible it is to suffer advanced age-related degeneration.

Bone density can diminish with age, allowing even a minor spill to break an arm, leg, or hip.” Think about helping the fight to cure aging today.
