Is 70 Really the New 60?（1）
We often hear that 60 is the new 50 and 70 the new 60. It is a bromide borne out by old photos. Just check out images of your grandparents or great-grandparents (depending on your age) and notice their stooped and soft bodies, their lined faces and how they seem anchored in their chairs when they were barely pushing 60. What a contrast with vigorous, gym-going sexagenarians of today!
我们经常听到60岁是新的50岁，而70岁是新的60岁。这是经老照片证明的一种陈词滥调。翻看祖父母甚至曾祖父母（取决于您的年龄）的照片，注意他们弓背且柔软的身体，布满皱纹的面庞，以及近60岁时靠在椅子上的模样。再看看如今充满活力、去健身房的60多岁的人，多么大的反差！
Recent studies comparing populations born in different decades have looked beyond these surface impressions to nail down actual physical and mental differences in the ways we are aging. This research has identified particular areas of improvement. But these gains are not across the board, and they appear to depend on social, behavioral and economic factors.
近期比较不同年代出生人口的研究透过这些表象，明确了我们衰老方式中的实际身心差异。而该研究明确了可供改进的特定方向。但这些结果并非一概而论，似乎还取决于社会、行为和经济因素。
