At the end of the day, you have the ability to decide the quality of life you want to have. I wonder, and honestly don't know, if the pre-sickness fitness of an individual has a positive affect on the individual's ability to recover from that sickness.
For example:
Is an active 43 yr old and an inactive 43 yr old is diagnosed with a cancer are the survival rates higher for the active individual? I don't know, but I also don't care.
I do care about what I can control, and not feeling "more tired and old" is something I can control. I can decide to be active and be able to play with my kids when they are in their teens.

I don't know if I feel old and tired, but I do have a lot more aches and pains than I did when I was in my 40s. I do workout daily, but I have slowed down a bit - I'm 62. I probably have avoided some health issues by keeping fit, but it isn't a cure-all.
