increasing priority given to work to the extent that work takes precedence over other life interests and daily activities; and

Ageing disorder. No joke. Scientist in US discovered that we could age a lot slower using 3 now simple ingredients, soon to be available. That's good and bad news. It's nice that you will look 50 in your 80s and having sex in your 90s, but getting pension when you get to 100 is a bit of a downside.
