Incidentally, he is also blind in one eye. So, is general health related to his blindness, or is it pure coincidence (and bad luck) that he's already starting to wear down at age 21?

Getting blinded probably affected his Mileage stat (hidden), as would any other unpleasant experiences like fighting in the Arena (because of the radiation poisoning), being involved in lots* of footsquads (more radiation), or any other injuries he might have sustained and recovered from. I don't suppose, with a name like Jack Bauer, you've been letting him spend a lot of time in the taverns.

In other words, if your character is breaking his limbs and suffering internal injury on a regular basis, he's bound to keep a few scars and infirmities from his hardships. ---- It's also possible your character's overall health will deteriorate rather quickly if he/she is low strenght.
