If they can treat the oldies using robotics why couldn't they use it to treat the median age of the population?

Yes, obviously they would. Anything but "peak human" is illness if you knew what you were doing as a medical provider, and had the tools required to manipulate their body. (mostly their active genome in each cell)

Even "peak human" isn't really good enough, you have just 1 heart and blood vessels can burst from bad luck. So really good future doctors would fix this.
