From the episode: How to Die Young at an Old Age

Answer

Yes. Those who live older spend less time being sick as they reach the end of their lives. Their accumulations of diseases are 20 or 30 more than our controls. Our controls without longevity, reveal that only 10% of them do not have a major disease. Over the age of 100, 30% of people don’t have a disease.
