How do they age?
Most upper class people age well, because they can afford to have a relaxing lifestyle. It has nothing to do with being arab or pure-blooded. I can find you alot of people who've had a healthy balanced life style in all aspect's, who have a very slow aging process, due to the favourable circumstances.
for me its very hard to tell the age of a Chinese and of some Africans. I know 40 year old chinese tyhat could pass for 25 yo to me perfectly. same for some SS africans

I've noticed that if anything dark-skinned people like SSA's age slower or at least wrinkle and grey slower. I think it just has to do with melanin/skin elasticity. My moms is almost 50 and still gets checked out by my dudes at schoo, aksin if that's my cousin or what. Back when I was in High School she came once to drop off an essay I'd forgotten and the hall monitor yelled at her, "You're very late young lady! Get to class!" LOL!
Also we all remember the AC Transit Bus fight. The brotha was like 50 and looked 23.
Although the genetics behind it are currently obscure, biological aging is controlled by several environmental/lifestyle factors, and can be accelerated by malnutrition (vitamin-mineral, not calorific), obesity, alcohol, smoking and general fitness. All of these environmental factors exert stress on the body/immune system; psychological and emotional stress also plays a role here, too.
In the case of those Arab-speaking politicians, I am not surprised to see these figures aging quicker than one would normally expect.
President Obama already looks older now than during (or immediately before) the presidential race. The same can be said of former president George W. Bush. I've seen this phenomenon be mentioned on news periodicals on channels like CNN.
Clearly, the stress that comes with being in these high-power positions has a toll on an individual's vitality and youthfulness.
Returning to the topic of aging and "pure-blooded Arabs", I'd conclude that premature aging (oxymoron there ;) ) can be explained by environmental factors easily. Obviously, genetics will also play a role here, but I personally doubt the genes responsible for it are uniformly distributed across any ethnic group, save for the most endogamous or isolated ones.
East Asian don't age either. Some Korean chicks look 16 when they're 26.

How you know the guy with white Keffiyeh and Saddam are not genetically Arab? Have you checked their genetic analysis and genealogy that they do not have a single drop of Arab blood?

He's saying Iraqis are mesopotamians and not semites. Which is kinda true. Whats an "Arab"?
Most Iraqis arent Arabid racially.

Im a huge Zelda fan since i inherited my big bro's gameboy when i was like 8 (ages ago lol) although lately thanks to my flatmate i have learned about who was behind it. And also the greatness of MGS series.
Anyway, this guys, dunno what they eat but they haven't aged the way my dad did :lol:

"Arab" is more a cultural term than a racial one.
Funnily myself as some others I've seen alot of SS Africans and East Asians who naturally aged gracefully some I would of thought they were younger than say for example age 50.
There are lots of people out there that look much younger than their actual age. It is just a natural thing that occurs with some people I have known several people that were in their thirties that looked like they were in their earlier twenties.

That's from your point of view, East Asians can usually tell the age of each other fine.
When I went to Vegas with my ex-wife in 2002, we were both 25, but a security guard at a casino told her to "get off the carpet" because they thought she was too young to gamble. :lol: In East Asia, they usually assume white (and black people to a lesser extent) are older than they are. I could easily lie and tell people I was 10 years older and they usually just thought it was true.:(
Jim Carey his age 48 and he still looking young

lol these guys look their age perfectly well. Can´t believe you could´ve expected the first guy to be as young as 28! The reason you find them young looking is because you´re not accustomed to the East-Asian look. Simple as that. The both look like normal middle-aged Japanese men to me.

Olive oil is very popular amongst Arabs, and is a massive contributor.
Saddam was Babylonian.
Look at Robert Mugabe, he looks like he's 45, and he's 87:

Saudis indeed age very well, I have seen this, my neighbor there was a 88 year old guy, yet he was still running a company and was healthy. His sons were in their 60's yet could easily be confused for 35. Probably some thing in the water there that keeps them young and strong arab genetics. Pashtuns also age very well
Top model Iman is 56 years and still very sexy
