WASHINGTON (AP) -- The nation is poised to elect one of its oldest presidents, and while age doesn't determine health, it begs the question: How much do we know - and should we know - about how physically fit Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are for the job?
"Age always matters" when it comes to risk for disease, said well-known aging researcher S. Jay Olshansky of the University of Illinois at Chicago, but he cautions that it shouldn't be a litmus test for the presidency.
Trump at 70 would be months older than Ronald Reagan on his election day, and Clinton will have just turned 69.
