For long term expats, is your average life expectancy based on your home country or Thailand?

But they're only once a month for a few days ... :laugh:

 

Myself, do 1000 mg Vit C a day, and a multi vit & a multi vit, since my diet sucks from younger days.

 

I rarely, if ever get sick, viral/bacteria, and if I do, last a day, maybe.  My immune system amazes me, much to the dismay of wife & kid.

 

Ah, we see now.  You are a birthing person (or used to be).  How sweet and nice.  Are you still going through menopause?

First, one needs to understand that the different populations in the US are more diverse than in Thailand.

The life expectancy of an American living in the east coast of Florida, is different than the life expectancy of an African American living in Detroit, but when taken all together on average they  present a different picture. 

  So which americans are we talking about?

But life expectancy world wide is also governed by a host of different variables, some of which will change when moving to Thailand, and others would remain.

 What will change and what will remain also varies among , individuals and nationalities. Some are more conducive towards change than others,

  IMO , no one has enough information to have an opinion. yet many will , an I am sure this thread will deteriorate into a, how things in Thailand are terrible and  are killing us. 

 

Personally I have a very good plan to live to be 100, 

I read some place that people in the island of Ikaria in Greece on the average live to be 100, 

So a couple of years before I approach the end of my life expectancy, I am moving there !!

Suckers!!:laugh:

 

 

 

But there's no room there !!!

It's full of really old people that don't die

Don't know if mentioned, but if looking at life expectancy, should be looking at charts with year born & location.  (saw different chart/67.7 yrs)

 

Myself, USA, 66.7 yrs, and 45 of those in USA.  Actually had an oops at about 67.7, and tech now, that wasn't available in Dec 1954, saved me, or at least would make things better or back to normal again.   That was last year and any complications usually show up in that year, so all good, again, maybe.

 

We're on borrowed time ... ENJOY

One of the best ways, and info you really should know and keep track of ... your BP.

 

Since cardiac issues are one of top reasons we crap out. 

 

Very inexpensive to monitor your BP.  A few of us have the OMRON BP monitors.  Used here by many docs, clinics & hospitals 👍
