I'm Edward T. Creagan, M.D. Since 1977, I've treated thousands of adults here at Mayo Clinic. Over the years, I've seen countless patients age 55 to 65 grow old before their time. But I've seen as many age 75, 85 and up who are full of life and laughter. What makes the difference among such people? Why do some stay young and vibrant despite their "true" age? You'll find dozens of practical answers in the book we created for everyone age 50 and up, Mayo Clinic on Healthy Aging.
