My father, an agricultural engineer who worked with herbicides and pesticides for some 30 years, passed away a few days ago from advanced Parkinson's at the age of 82. Now he wasn't exactly in his teens anymore but his 87 years old brother who was a teacher is in fairly good shape for his age while my father became a ghost of a man (in end stage you cannot even swallow anymore).
