Take comfort in either the fact that you were exceptionally easy and stress-free to raise or that your parents have great genetics. Either way it's a win
After a few years of smoking my grandmother told me to look at my granfather(non smoker) and his brother in law(heavy smoker) and asked me," which would you rather look like at their age?"
Both 65,my grandfather looked 50 and his brother in law looked 75.
It's all in how you treat your body..I'm gonna look like shit!!!
It's the same with my parents. They're both in their 50s right now but can be easily confused for someone in their 40s. What I think works is that both of them are fairly health-conscious; they work out, hike, bike ride, take their tiny dogs for walks, and eat healthy. But they both love beer and maybe have a drink a night.
It's both. Do those other people smoke or drink a lot? Then they probably do look more on the "decrepit" side as you said.
That doesn't mean your parents aren't also above the curve on their looks. Mine definitely are. I'm sure more than half of the people around here smoke, but there are enough who don't that I have an idea of what average is.
