My feedback thread is here.
I think the real yardstick is if you fall over.
People say you fell over, you’re okay
People say you ‘had a fall’, you are well deteriorated.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
However, the life expectancy calculator says I have another 15 years
False teeth, hearing aids, varifocal specs, thinning hair - all this and more is mine ...
*edit* so really I'm doing pretty well, with no major issues like diabetes or other debilitating complaints.
As long as they don't start the Soylent Green program anytime soon...
Might be better than all that chlorinated chicken and hormone-injected beef we'll be importing from the USA if Boris Johnson & Co get their way.
Although not if you're part of the ingredients, obviously....

I found I need to work harder to lose weight at 40 than I did before. not creaking too badly yet but it's only a matter of time!
Balls like two plums in a sock, eyesight failing so i need to own standard glasses, varifocals, reading glasses,contacts and multifocal contacts for various different purposes....and I still can't read the fucking instructions on a microwave meal....
In supermarkets if I forget to take reading glasses
in with me I sometimes photograph stuff with my phone so I can then zoom in on the photo to read the bloody label before I chuck it into my basket .
Worst thing for me though is the tinnitus I've had since September 2015, a never-ending, never changing fire alarm type loud wail in my left ear (well,it's in your brain actually, but it's complicated to explain ) that is a 24/7 curse. The first few weeks of this nearly ruined me as my adrenalin levels went beserk and I was constantly feeling the fight or flight impulse.
I've habituated a little now after three years of it, but as there's no cure and little chance of anyone spending much time or money on finding one it's a bit depressing and I'd swap it for plenty of other more 'physical' ailments.
Moral of this story is that you may want to take ear protection seriously....
