Your Life Expectancy May Be Shortened...?

[junkofdavid2]

I found this cool!

Dunno how accurate, but using this calculator, my life expectancy was calculated to be 84 years old.

See if your life expectancy is higher or lower than mine:

I have only got 14 years left

( oh well must go lots to do and so little time )

PS i didn't taken it seriously

Don't believe this survey! It is a marketing tool. I have taken other more objective online surveys which show me departing decades sooner. For some reason, the marketers of this survey want to give optimistic numbers.

Can you recommend the other more objective surveys?

83

I've played with calculators like this on many web sites previously and they all agree. I will kick the bucket in my early 80's. I tried changing some things on a previous one that I did and I found not much could change it.

When I turn 79 I'm going to start living recklessly!

Probably take the brakes off my wheel chair!

99. Looks like i am going to have to work a bit longer, i didn't expect my retirement to last so long!!!

[Who, me ?]

85.....

so I am glad to know that I still have 38 years to go

Well, just I'd like to know when I'll start to look like an old fart !

Who said that I already look like an old fart ???

[jumnien]

98; I'm 49 now, so half way there!

There was no question such as:

Do you drive frequently on Thai roads yapping on your cell phone, eating a bag of potato chips whilst reading a map?

The answer to this question would certainly lower my score!

I tried several online calculators a few years ago, and they varied quite a bit. My friend sent me a link to this one this month, and I took it again. http://www.embedtube.com/uploads/33101407Realage.swf I think this one is fairly thorough, better than the others. Anyway, I cheated here and there when I took it the first time, this year. So I went back and admitted that yes, I was jumping out of an airplane right now. Then I got a prediction I would die at 76.4.

Could not get the first test past part one. Took PB test and life expectancy is 96.4 currently 74. I've always said I would live to be 96 cause that is how long my mother lived.

[brackmagic]

I took them both. The first said 86 and PB's said 78.2. I am budgeting for the money to run out at 80, might have to rethink that at 78.3.

[jetjock]

I also could not get the test to go past part 1 so switched over to PB's test. It said that my life expectancy is 112.2 which would mean that today I am exactly 1/2 way through my life. If only I could be assured that were true, I would be the happiest man alive today !

jetjock if you did not put in a zip number it does not work properly

I put in a UK postcode and it worked. Glad I did cos it said I will be brown bread at 97 . PB's said 88, so I'll go for the first one, thanks. Funny, it said if I take aspirin daily, my life expectancy goes up by an extra 2 years. Mmmmm, might be worth taking a few then in my Leo nightly !

I liked that one!

Biological age 53. - Real age 31. I love it! Not sure about the life expectancy tho' - 98.6 years. Who's gonna change my diappers

[Juzrelax]

81. Cant complain about that with my lifestyle!

[chiang mai]

It says I should have died four years ago, do you think it works properly?

PERHAPS YOU DID and this is all a dream

p.s. One good tip is not to pay your bills and that will check if your still alive!

That is where the expression "You are living on borrowed time" comes from. The real question is 'Who did you borrow it from?' Hope it wasn't me as I want every year I can get as life it is too much fun to even give away a few.

[geriatrickid]

ut oh, the 1st test says I will die at 70. PB's gave me 79 (also said I was 6 years younger than I am, yay for me) I think the PB link is better written and more useful.

So basically I got only a few more decades to go. Decisons, decisions. Shoot, I'll just procrastinate some more and be indecisive and unhappy

[PeaceBlondie]

The trick in these calculators, apparently, is which health factors to include, and how to give them different weights toward the overall score. I do not know my cholesterol ratio, and at first I said I did not take many medications. But when you include 300 mg of aspirin daily, cholesterol medicine and blood pressure medicine, I guess that's a lot. My mother died of complications from encephalitis when I was 5; nobody knows how Mama got orphaned; etc., so you cannot know all the factors, often.

Relax, I tried the other test and came up with a different answer. It now seems I'm going to live to be 98 which is a most unsatisfactory answer in my book.
