[quote=Anonymous]Just to offer another perspective. My mother did everything "right". In her 50's and 60's she was taking biking vacations, working out with a trainer, wearing a size 6 despite being quite tall. She regularly walked up and down many flights of stairs in her apartment building despite living on the 20th floor in a building with lots of elevators. And yet by her mid 70's she had significant difficulty walking even after huge amounts of PT. Her feet dropped, her balance was impacted, she had multiple really scary falls leading to multiple broken bones. Some of it is taking care of yourself, but not all of it. There are many factors.[/quote]
