For me at 74 Cardio is the key. My Doctor has told me "whatever you are doing, keep it up!"

The main reason resistance training is highly recommended is you can start losing muscle mass as young as 40 in small quantities and that percentage of mass lost generally increases as you get into your 50s and 60s and beyond.
Of course, that's at 10k feet and there are reasons why it may or may not matter as much person to person.
I didn't have much to begin with at 40, so I'm gaining while the gaining is decent and then I'm sure will basically be trying to maintain in another decade.
