Many reasons. Seniors are vulnerable to the exploitation of their doctors (big pharma profiteers) - they watch a lot of TV so that doesn't help. Furthermore in the west we have abandoned our old, treating them without respect & putting them away into old people's homes (out of sight, out of mind). Depression and other mental illnesses go untreated - mental & physical are directly connected. Finally, they do have many illnesses from unhealthy products consumed all of their lives - yet they're not being cured, just treated.
My parents to a T. I am in my mid-fifties and not a single pill I take, only supplements...I refuse the big pharma scam. It's sorcery according to the bible...and those who practice "pharmakeia" don't get into heaven. I try to tell them but they're too far gone. A pill for everything, literally they have crates of pills on their table they take 3x/day.
And they eat like crap, ice cream, cookies, pies, donuts, fried foods, candy, pickled bolgna, nothing healthy. God forbid they eat fresh fruits/veggies and non-processed meats...all processed junk. And they LOVE those crappy all you can eat cheap buffets full of GMO fatty non-nutritious food...ugh
You would be sorely disappointed in my house filled with fruits, veggies, yogurt and whole wheat products. And I see plenty of young people eating garbage like this.

I was specifically speaking to my 50+pills a day parents in their mid-70s. I'm happy you are not on that path to death like my parents....
