I'm old, 5'10", currently 158 lbs. The highest in my life was around 180 or so.
But that doesn't mean I'm in good health.
Twenty some years ago I went out with a nurse for several years. She worked at the local VA and had been in every department, including geriatrics.
She said it's not a bad idea to have a little fat on you when you get older, because it could pull you through a serious problem that otherwise might kill you if you have no reserves to draw on.
Just one nurse's opinion, but I think there's some validity to it. My problem: I'm old and have no fat.
