RE:"It sounds to me like once you hit your late 60s, the quality of your life deteriorates very quickly." Really an individual thing.

"I don't know about the "insuring good health until the end" part." 50 years ago, it was common to get sick and die. The older you got, the more likely it was. In addition, everybody older than about 40, except for a few, had a number of ailments and infirmaries. Lots of people are active well into their 70s, if not later. My father is still repairing watches, goes fishing on the weekends, etc. And he is well into his 70s. My grandfather was bed-ridden by his mid-60s.
