Does "this" here refer to "youth"? Or "a temperamental predominance"?

Context:

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of
ease. This often exists in a man of sixty more than a body of twenty. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We
grow old by deserting our ideals.
