While exercising and watching one's diet can significantly contribute to better health and potentially reduce the risk of developing ADL impairments, it is highly unlikely to guarantee the absence of any ADL impairments in one's nineties. Aging is a complex process influenced by a wide range of factors including genetics, environmental factors, and chance, making it impossible to ensure complete avoidance of such impairments solely through lifestyle choices.
