I think that the issue is what kind of paragon we make, In general though it is true that on average our generation looks younger than the equivalent Gen X and Boomer did at at the same age, but if we compare with current 25-30 years old that impression disappears, since they do have the same advantages in nutrition and in general healthcare understanding that we did (if not a better one).
It was probably here and likely informal b.s.; but someone posted a study that gen Z participants were given stacks of photos and it averaged out that to them a 34 year old millennial appeared to be a 27 y.o to them. The photos got lumped together with the 27 year olds when they sorted them.
