Kind of an eye opener and I'm not sure where I got this from but I look at it now and then. It's amazing how certain habits change a person's chance of having a long life. It makes me sad that it shows my dh will only live to be 68 (of course I know this is only statistical) and I will live to be 94. I know some things are beyond our control like family history of heart disease but others like exercise, eating fruits & veggies, not smoking, etc. we can control.

I'm living a "healthy lifestyle" but it didn't give any predictions as to how long I will live!

Woohoo! I'm supposedly going to live to be 95. I took a test similar to this one before and it only gave me until 92. I must be doing something good. My life goal is to live to be a healthy 100. Longevity runs in my family, so hopefully I'll make it.

I only got my dh up to 78. We'll have to work on that. I had a hard time answering the question about his parents and cardiovascular disease. They were both heavy smokers and were diagnosed in their late 50's/early 60's with problems. They didn't live into their 70s (FIL died at 69, MIL died at 59). I answered "don't know" because none of the other answers applied.

Well, the site was blocked on my computer, but I just did one of these tests a couple days ago, and it said I would live to be 102..
