Because muscle repair slows down with increasing age the use of steroids in low doses regularly to compensate for aging seems reasonable enough. One wonders however what steroids with users and control groups have been done.

Once while riding a bicycle through West Texas looking for a house to paint I stopped at a store to buy some potted lunch meat and noodles and a 90 year old man started a conversation about the bike. He said that he had recently had to stop swimming because of injuries that just don't get better quickly. That brought me to wonder if steroids are used by those of us that will need to look for work in the 60s and even 70s; will it be easy to get low doses of steroids for muscle damage.
I personally have had surgically unrepaired knee, shoulder and back injuries and even an elbow on my first parachute landing. With age its good to have healthy muscle regeneration when riding I bike for several hours against the wind each day if travelling cross-country. Not only does once maximum and sustainable heart rate decline over 60, one reaches it easier when the temperature is over 90 degrees. Regular steroid use would be a substantial benefit for those that must journey to find employment routinely.
Even so the question remains about the health benefits and detriments of regular low-dosage steroid physical maintennence offsets for aging. Women may drop out of marathon activity a decade sooner than men and not be concerned male muscle deterioration with age creating some political recalcitrance or disinterest in keeping aging laborers healthy. Even so the next time I take a loaded bike through the desert I would like to know that in addition to 5 hour energy to relieve exhaustion there is prospect for legs remaining healthy and strong another decade or two.
