How long will you live?

http://www.agingresearch.org/calculator/

Based on a multitude of questions, these people now give a prediction on how long you will live. How old will you be if your Benz doesn't kill you?

I got 97.7!!

I took the survey and got a life expectancy of 88.1 years.

I kinda figured I'd live to be in my late eighties, so it made sense to me.

However, the body mass index thing is out of whack, at least for me.

I'm 6'1" tall and about 190 lbs. I run 3.5 miles, 3 times / week. I am in fantastic shape, and have a flat stomach. I am not overweight, but my BMI came out to 25.29, which apparently is moderately overweight!

They are out of their mind. I am the fittest guy at my office, with over 50 guys in the building.

I agree. I'm 5'7" and 180lbs which sounds like a lot but I do cardio and weights daily and at most could only drop 10 lbs before I start looking gaunt.

I'm 6'5'', 235 and losing... and apparently am substantially overweight. That would be on-par with the all NFL and NBA players are obese report that came out a few weeks ago. I still got a 97.7 yrs prediction and wonder what the hell I would have received if I was at a 'normal' weight!?! BMI index stuff is supposed to include some mitigators regarding frame/body structure/etc... this obviously did not.

My 88 yr old great uncle told me last weekend that his 94 yr old father had told him (after driving himself to the hospice)... "Whatever you do, don't turn 90!" My great uncle is doing his best to follow his father's advice.

That's odd when I typed in all the information and when the answer came back it didn't give me a number it gave me a word. "METHUSILAM!"...

95.2 years. I'd have never thought that when I was a kid.
