That's usually a thing for the 40s though?

Don't forget that life expectancy is much lower in the states, a 30yo American is as worn out as a 40 yo European

Seriously? I know that some jobs (like construction worker) make a difference, but...

Diet and exercise make a difference too. Most Americans eat a lot more calorific food and walk/cycle a lot less.

typically in your 40s you have deep roots in your community and family obligations so its harder to bounce.
