#7Mine started late-thirties. Stomach doesn't handle spices as it used to. Any bravery at dinner time means poor sleep and tiredness for a day or two. Bumps/strained things take days to stop hurting.

#8It's very likely that aging is driven by some kind of scheduled gene program. It makes perfect sense to phase out individuals from a group-level selection point of view.

#9All the recent pop sci I've read is the accelerated aging periods in one's life during our 40s and 60s.

This would be an optimistic scenario and introduce a possibility for the "scheduled gene program" to be controlled or turned off. The current thinking in the field seems to favour the idea that aging is a complex combination of programmed changes, stochastic damage, as well as various adaptations to help cope with the damage.
