Life Extension / Longevity Tactics -- any proof so far?

Among the best selling books and fads of the '80s, and one niche genre was life extension. Increasing your life span by taking certain supplements or following certain practices. Now it's 40 years later. Any evidence, even anecdotal, that any of it works or has worked? If yes, then by now there ought to be some spry, non-vegetative oldsters out there in their low 100s.

Or is Time and our human DNA, for now, still The Great Equalizer?

I'll tell you what sad: outliving your money in Trump's America.

You are royally fucked if you don't have any money in your extreme old age.
