I watched a show on aging on PBS a while back. The conclusion was, basically, that the number 1 factor that determines who will live to a very old age (like 90-100) is genetics. For those few "lucky" people diet, exercise, smoking, and drinking habits made little difference.

The interviewed a bunch of "active" and healthy 100 year olds for the show and they all had lived very different lifestyles. The commonality was a family history of relatives living very long lives.

For the rest of us, our lifestyles make a huge difference or at least give us a fighting chance to outlive our ancestors.
