Also probably time spent in the sun.

And the whiskey!

And the cigarettes.

Don't forget the leaded paint and asbestos.

Vsauce did a video on this. it's cultural context. eg wearing clothes that old people wear makes you look older. a dude in like 1920 was wearing a tshirt and aviators and ppl thought he was a time traveler
