A friend just clued me into this article when I asked the question of him. It's an interesting read. Gives a decade by decade rundown of what to expect.

Here's the opening paragraph:
Quote:

THE REST OF YOUR LIFE STARTS NOW. It's true you can shape your destiny. But it will require choosing one of two paths: 1) Muscles turn to flab in your thirties, you get clumsy in your forties, weak in your fifties, and by your sixties you're primed for heart attacks and cancer. At 74, it's sayonara, sucka; you've just hit the average life expectancy for an American male. 2) You're Vincent Carnevale, 86, of Glen Ridge, New Jersey, and you just ran your 500th race—your 500th race since turning 70, that is.

I have to say that the guy in the picture for "your 50's" creeps me out.
