We’re staying younger for longer

-

New science shows that we’re not just living longer, but we’re reaching our physical peak later as well. Consider sports stars Roger Fedderer, 38, Serena Williams, also 38, and Tiger Woods, 43. “The age for being at a peak is getting older – maybe this is more to do with societal change than a technologi­cal/ treatment change,” says UK researcher Dr Jacky Forsyth. Other good news: our healthy midlife years, once considered over at 60, are often extending well beyond 70.
