It does to my definition of healthy. At 5-10, 200 pounds and higher body fat than when I was 150 pounds doing "healthy" shit, such as running 25 miles per week and eating low fat I am deff healthier. I felt like shit half the time 5 years ago. In fact, upon waking, my shoulders and elbows always went snap, crackle, pop after sleeping on my sides all night. At 50+ # increased bodyweight, that symptom of unhealthiness seems to have vanished.
My brother runs marathons. 6'1", 160 lbs. He tends to get light-headed when he stands up quickly, his blood pressure is so low.
I used to get light-headed easily too. And my back would "go out" frequently...

...but true.
I think I was around 185 when I stopped using the 115 as a warmup
Nope, I don't. But the 3 people I started on LP that were male, over 40 and healthy started at 160, 170 and 170 (on the trap bar for this one) and my 13 year old daughter started out at 85.
Answer honestly, what percentage of HEALTHY males under 55 that you have experience training start deadlifts at sub-135. I'm not interested in the percentage that you actually start under 155 due to playing it safe, but the percentage that are actually incapable of pulling 135 for greater than 5 reps. Even in the SS book, Rip states that rank novices who are healthy and young can start off using a lot of weight.
