I think the problem starts in childhood with lots of unnecessary vaccines that poison our systems. Then there is the fluoride in the drinking water and lots of added fertilzers/chemicals and white sugars in food. By the time most people get to 50 they have a condition like high blood pressure, diabetes, cancers, dementia (the list is so long) and now they have to depend on a variety of medicines forever. Meanwhile big pharma companies are laughing all the way to the bank :)
