My point is that a lot people really, genuinely don't want to live more than 80 years. Even ones who are already in their 70s. So asking "Would you like to stay young, healthy and vigorous and live as long as you like?" just gets the sincere, possibly correct answer that they'd like to live about 80 years. That may be what they really want.
But, it is quite likely that older people as humans in general tend to adapt to circumstances - in this case the effects of age and the social demography in implies. All factors that inhibit doing new stuff.
