What Is My Life Expectancy?

[The Mad Monk]

For how much longer will you have to put up with me?

or

Will you enjoy my company for long?

I did the exercise for a 25 year old man doing everything wrong - he will get to 55.

A 25 year old woman doing everything right should get to 97.

Me? 91.

Life expectancy:88
Years left: 53

I dont know if I will want to live that long ... depends on many factors granted ... we shall see!

[Monkeylegend]

I'm just happy to wake up each morning.

[Prohibiting]

87

[PositronicRay]

I'm 89, Mrs PR 91.

Doesn't take any medical history into account though, so the actuaries are still safe!

[Zetec-S]

89.

Although it "only" drops by 4 years if I were to eat lots of fried or fatty foods... ... sounds like a good payoff

[Mafffew]

Dead at 78, 53 years to go. Could be worse I guess.

[Roofless Toothless]

I think posting in The Lounge gives you about five years longer than posting in NP&E.

I love the way happy relationship is separate from marriage

[AJB88]

I only got 82 for some reason.


28 year old male, swims and goes gym. get my 5 a day and don't eat a lot of saturated fat.

75. I'm hoping to die younger. That's still too old to be fun.

[TooMany2cvs]

Doesn't take any account of alcohol intake...?

[Robbo 27]

83, which I was surprised to see what the date of date that my life insurers worked out for my annuity.

Grumpy old git now, what the hell will i be like at 83!

...and "happy relationship" give longer life than marriage!

[Smitters]

Turns out being happy and having a good social group carries more weight that five fruit and veg per day...

Anyway, I have an extremely grumpy 40+ years still to go apparently.

You won't be saying that when you're 74!

Well that's a waste of thirty seconds I'll never get back!

Both of my parents are still alive (one over 75, the other not), but surely asking about grandparents would cover a wider range of the population?

On top of that, one outdated question about diet - no mention at all of carb intake, for example - means that the whole exercise is pointless....

Plus how the hell do I know if I've got a good social network? What yardstick am I supposed to measure that against?

Just check your PH O'meter.
