91.

I found it annoying that when it asked about your parents, they didn't offer enough choices fo runder 80. It was either under 80 and healthy, or under 80 and dependent on others! There's a lot of wiggle room in there I think. My mom has had cancer twice but is currently, technically cancer free, but certainly she would be in the mdidle of healthy and dependent.  ::)

Heh ... having only the option "under 80 and healthy" for my parents must be the reason for the uber-optimistic life expectancy the test predicted for me ;)

90.3

If I can lose 20 pounds, it goes up to 93.3
When I am grown-up I will understand how BEAUTIFUL it feels to administrate my life effectively.

Until then I will continue to TORCH all correspondence that bores me and to dance NAKED over the remnants of its still glowing embers.

Mine was 92 years and I'm a man (aren't we supposed to die young?  ::)

My maternal grandmother died aged about 40, my sister has diabetes and my dad has very high blood pressure and my mother gets lots of migranes.  I guess it must be based on all that healthy food and exercise I get?
Let's just hope my age is not determined by genetics!!!

Wow, 95.7!!!! 

Seeing how my Grandparents are aging though not so keen on living to that age!  Maybe mid 80's  they were good till then!!!

 Calculated health span is 85.9 years.

That's a very long life.  Hmmm, I'll have to ask my husband to take the test and see how he fares with it. 

I was born in the Summer and at Night...my mother named me AUTUMN DAWN.  True story.

Jamie's...beyond the stars and past eternity.

EMAIL or PM me for information about gigs or about booking me (solo gig) or the band.

Mine's 92.3, which is shocking, frankly.   :o  I do come from very hardy stock, though, so I'm sure that has something to do with it!

I also did the test according to my lifestyle before I changed my way of eating (21 Feb)....with those answers, my life expectancy was 80.6.    That's a wakeup call if ever there was one!   :o

Just took it again to see the effects of my healthier lifestyle...and I got a 93.4 this time!   :)

I got 97.8.

87.9... Hmm... The problem is that the questionnaire seems to be aimed at the elderly...

Yes, the question of how old you were when you got your last period seems to imply that you are post menopausal.  I am 39, so I had my last period when I was under 40, but it wasn't my LAST period.

On the other hand, if you really don't have a reason to not take an aspirin a day, consider taking one daily.


Actually, the most recent research seems to indicate that taking aspirin every day might not be the healthiest thing for elderly people.  Elderly people are more sensitive to gastric disturbances, and the constant intake of aspirin is causing some of them to die of bleeding ulcers before they have the chance to develop heart problems.
