[quote=Anonymous]79 can look very different depending on there person. My dad is 78 and walks 3 miles a day, looks / carries himself like a much younger person. His voice has weakened a bit in the past few years, and he has some eye trouble, but other than that, very healthy and robust. My neighbor at 79 was very wobbly and weak and slow and needed much more care. I've seen others closer to 70 who appear what I consider to look more like 90. So to answer your question, yeah, lots of 79 year olds are "old" and exercise would have likely helped, but it is what it is. I would make sure she has a good geriatrician. [/quote]
