About weight changes: It's more reassuring to hear a person in his 70's say, "I'm average weight and been the same weight the last 20 years." On the other hand, a person who was at normal weight who then says, "I've recently gained a lot of weight" or "I've recently lost a lot of weight" sounds dangerous from a health perspective. Normal adults should not have rapid weight changes. One's doctor can evaluate and treat.
