The Ailing or Wailing - Baby Boomers - TierneyLab - Science - New York Times Blog: "The two younger groups were less likely than the oldest group to have said their health was “excellent or very good” at 51 to 56 years of age.

The youngest group reported having more pain, chronic health conditions, and drinking and psychiatric problems than people who were the same age 12 years earlier.

Compared with the oldest group, the youngest group was more likely to have reported difficulty in walking, climbing steps, getting up from a chair, kneeling or crouching, and doing other normal daily physical tasks."
