Your getting older: Medical problems begin as we get older. Preventive maintenance like blood pressure, cholesterol, etc are now routine. Also, you don't heal as fat, so contact sports are now re likely to cause injury and slow recovery

Life style: Over 40 or under, we can maximize our chances for good health by eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean protein and good fat, getting sufficient rest and enjoying regular exercise.

Depressed?: Stress, depression, burn-out etc can color our thinking so that "not caring" makes sense. Reach out for help if you truly don't care about yourself. Your pcp is a good start. Agree with others who replied to your question about healthy lifestyle making a difference. Hope you take good care of yourself.
