My Dad was as strong as an ox at 85 until dementia started to weaken him. He worked until he was 84. He died at 91. My Grandfather was built the same. He was 92 when he died. On the other hand, my mother suffered with her back her whole life, and I inherited that from her. Both her brothers weren't strong men.I drove past a cleaner yesterday who is about the same age as you I think he is 73 years old and works from a car with a BP no idea how he manages to be honest he was setting up on a big detached house that would have taken quite a lot of water to clean.
I, unfortunately, can't see myself getting to my father's or grandfather's age.
My brother inherited my Dad's strong back.
