for general health do cardio and keep your heart healthy, don't do deadlifts!

One of the main factors that contribute to older peoples' weight gain is that they lose muscle as they age, which means they burn less calories, therefore eating similar amounts combined with fewer calories burned per day = weight gain. Basic mass building exercises help keep/increase muscle, thus helping them stay lean.

Which isnt necessarily much of a health benefit, more of an appearance benefit!

no need for a discussion on whether or not how muscle atrophy affects overall health! lets just say i wont be doing deadlifts when i am 80 and im confident you wont either

Yes there is because of the misinformation you posted above.

And I intend to be deadlifting at 80 if I am able.
