Admiral Sir Fayshun Sr. RN Rtd is 81 this year and still going strong-ish.
He had a TIA (like a mini-stroke) about 8 years ago which has affected his leg a bit and he's got Type 2 Diabetes and he's getting cataracts and the occasional attck of gout. He eats relatively healthily (he's subscribed to the Mediterranean diet) which helps to control his diabetes and keeps active, either in the garden or playing golf and apart from having his afternoon nap (aww bless!) he's as active as he was 20 years ago. Looking at him you wouldn't say he was 80 either. He says every year he has had over his dad (who died aged 53 from emphysema) he sees as a bonus. My dads mum died in her late 60's with senile dementia, and both my mums parents died from lung cancer in their late 60's. Hopefully I will inherit the longevity from the old man!
