61 year old man looks 38

I am kind-of sad that I do about 80% of what these guys do and I am getting no where near the same results. The last time I measured my biological age, it was only about 5 years younger than my chronological age.

My guess is that to look like those guys you would need to start doing what they did at an early age. It may be too late to get as much of a dramatic result if you are over 35 when you start out. I think longevity supplements can only prevent you looking older than you were when you first started taking them. So if you started taking them when you were 30 you would look around 30 to 34 when you were in your 60s. I started to late, I was already in my early 50s. I'm 60 now and don't look any younger. But I live in hope.

 

But I think the 57 year old guy is probably a hoax. I would like to see his birth certificate.

As always, genetics plays a role.  I have a friend who coems from a big family.  They don't do anything unusual,  vitamins etc,  they just have really good genetics and they ALL look about 20 years younger than their age.

Below is a photo of the man (Chuando Tan) with his father in 1983. The father looks like he is in his late forties or early fifties, which indicates that he is aging normally. So I don't think it is necessarily genetic in Chuando's case.

 

But for people who do have genetics that make them look young, I wonder why genetics works selectively in those people... in a Darwinian sense, I mean? What adaptive value does it have for some people to look young and not all people?
