Yeah, I work in orthopedics and rehabilitation and have some patients in their 90s that look better than a lot of people in their 60s. When things turn downward for people 80 and above, it happens quickly.
Most of the time it is because they have a fall or some kind of injury that impedes their mobility. The most common denominator for people in good shape for their advanced age is that they all remain very active, generally walking a couple miles a day.
Loss of mobility is one of the highest predictors for mortality.
Just lost my mom a few years back from that, she stopped going on walks and had dvt which killed her. It’s so incredibly important to preserve mobility.
Possibly, but the patients I know who generally keep up with their health also tend to keep up with technology fairly well. It’s anecdotal, but my experience with these types is that they are highly dependent on their routine.
Could’ve been just coicidence and not causation in the granny’s case (which is anecdotal as well).
Still I think smartphones - or rather: some apps more than others - pose certain risks of wasting a lot of time.
If that time is missing elsewhere, it’s not good.

Not moving/being active a lot because of using a smartphone can take the same toll.
