(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Candidates who are older are more likely to face scrutiny about their health.
According to the Social Security Administration, men who have reached age 70
can expect to live roughly 15 more years, and women can expect to live about 17
more years, but lifestyle and health factors can shift the calculus. And as
people get older, the probability of illness, disability, and death increases,
as do the chances of cognitive impairment.)

Cheney (DIERSEN: In 1966, when I was 18 years old, notwithstanding the fact
that my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, I had partial red/green color
blindness, and I had Osgood-Schlatter disease (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osgood%E2%80%93Schlatter_disease),
I was classified 1-A for the draft.)
https://www.newsday.com/news/nation/biden-got-5-draft-deferments-during-nam-as-did-cheney-1.884250
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
DOVER, Del. – Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden received five
student draft deferments during the Vietnam War, the same number of deferments
received by Vice President Dick Cheney, and later was disqualified from service
because of asthma that he suffered as a teenager. Officials with Democratic
presidential nominee Barack Obama’s campaign released Biden’s Selective Service
records at the request of The Associated Press. Less detailed records were
available from a National Archives facility in Philadelphia. According to the
documents, Biden, 65, received several deferments while he was an undergraduate
at the University of Delaware and later as a law student at Syracuse
University. A month after a physical exam in April 1968, Biden received a
Selective Service classification of 1-Y, meaning he was available for service
only in the event of national emergency. “As a result of a physical exam
on April 5, 1968, Joe Biden was classified 1-Y and disqualified from service
because of asthma as a teenager,” said David Wade, a campaign spokesman.
In “Promises to Keep,” a memoir that was published last year, Biden
never mentions his asthma, recounting an active childhood, work as a lifeguard
and football exploits in high school. The Obama campaign pointed to media
interviews from 1987, when Biden was making his first bid for the presidency,
that mention his asthma. Military service and questions about which
presidential ticket would be stronger on national security are intertwined in
the presidential race. Republican John McCain, a former Navy pilot who spent 5
1/2 years in a Vietnamese prison, has argued that he has stronger background to
be commander in chief. Democratic nominee Obama counters that McCain would
continue a wrongheaded foreign policy from the Bush administration. Biden’s
five student deferments equal the number given to Cheney, who has been quoted
as saying he had “other priorities” than military service in the
1960s.)

respondents who said they were treated unfairly by employers, ageism was the
most common type of discrimination. Nearly 45% of older workers who’ve
experienced discrimination said they were treated unfairly because of their
age. . . The older the respondents, the more likely they were to believe they
had been treated unfairly because of their age. The survey found that 50% of
adults ages 65 and older who said they had faced discrimination said their age
was the source of that discrimination compared to 43% of respondents ages 55 to
64 and about 39% of respondents ages 45 to 54. And men were more likely than
women to believe that they had been treated unfairly because of their age.
