Individual habits and habitus. You will not see any really old, really fat people. You see the odd smoker that makes it to a ripe old age, but they are never fat.

I have been very fortunate on choice of parents and personal habits, hence, figure to live a long time. People simply do not believe I am as old as I am when they see me, and just cannot wrap their heads around the fact that I have an 8 year old grand son.

Yes.
I'm 68 and easily pass for 58 and younger.
It's my mom's genes. (Liz Claiborne, I think - old joke).
She's 94 and looks early 70's.
When I hurt or cut myself, I heal almost immediately.
