    Said I will live to be 86, which isnt too shabby, given that my parents died relatively young (Mom was 71 and Dad was 62).

    Was wondering why they did not take into account family longevity...my maternal grandmother was almost 101 when she died...would expect that to have some kind of bearing on my average.

    Based on what you have entered your estimated life expectancy is: 83 years
    Your largest modifiable risk factor is: Diet

    Intriguing, though I still don't think I'll live to >60 years.

    92 for me.

    It has a few issues though. My postal code is in Manitoba yet it does a risk factor at the bottom "compared to the rest of Ontario". Then again, the calculator itself is put out by Ontario Health, so that might explain it.

    Just so you're aware, when I went to this link my anti virus went nuts. I'd click at your own risk.

    95.
    I don't think it really accounts for enough variables though. Like family history of disease etc.
    Fun though. Apparently i don't need to change anything :)

    83 if I move to Canada. My life expectancy is a lottery while I continue to live in SE London :laugh:

    Mine is 91. Woo hoo!

    Thanks for sharing that, much appreciated.

    It's nice that it's Canadian too...even if it is based only on Ontario. Nice to have stats close to home.

    Cheers!:flowerforyou:

    I got 95. I just used a Canadian zip code. I don't drink much because I have low tolerance. :D

    Who knows it could be possible. I have/had 3 great aunts reach 100. My granddad died at 91 but he was depressed because my grandmother had died five years earlier. I am sure who could have lived longer if he had the will to live. My grandmothers died early, Maternal at 83 of diabetes and stroke (her sister and brother are well into their late 90s now). Paternal dies at 78 of Alzheimer's.

    A have a few more 90+ great uncles and aunts.

    85..... it said my "largest modifiable risk factor" is my diet. I don't know what's wrong with my diet according to the questions it asked me. 26 servings of fruit or vegetables in the last week. That's not bad...

    94 if I drink what I normally do, not what I drank last week (then it would be 91).
    I find that pretty unlikely - family history makes me think somewhere between 70 - 85 would be more realistic.

    But I'm not sure if my lack of ice hocky recreation skewed the numbers. There aren't many opportunities for that in my part of the world.

    93.

    Entirely possible - average age at death on my dad's side of the family (which is the side I take after) is 94 - and they were still dancing, gardening, driving - living life - then one massive stroke and out like a candle. Sounds good to me!
