Negligible senescence after 60 (or 40) years is not actually youth. It's past reproduction age for most people.

"Negligible senescence" means that you don't get appreciable deterioration with age. You're 240, but you feel 29.

EDIT: Ah. They explain that later in the article. That's an unfortunate use of the term, given its history of use in the field.
