How Long Will You Live: Life Expectancy Quiz

This life expectancy quiz is typical questionnaires used by insurance companies. Of course it can’t be 100 percent accurate. But though exceptions exist (and barring sudden accidents), it is likely that your predicted life span may be somewhat in that range.

You will start with the number 74. So write down that number at the top of a sheet of paper.

• If you are a male, subtract 2.

• If a female, add 4.

• If you live in an urban area of over 2 million people, subtract 2.

• If living in a rural area with population under 70,000, add 2.

• If any grandparents live to be 85, add 2.

• If all grandparents live to be 85, add 2.

• If all grandparents lived to be 80, add 6.

• If either parent died of a stroke or heart attack before the age 50, subtract 4.

• If any immediate relative (parent, brother, sister) under 50 has – or had – cancer or a heart condition or has diabetes since childhood subtract 3.

• If you finished college, add 1.

• If you live with a spouse or friend, add 5.

• If you have graduated or professional degree, add 2 more.

• If not, subtract 1 for every 10 years alone since age 25.

• If your work behind desk, subtract 3.

• If your work demands to be physical, add 3.

• If you exercise 2 times a week, add 2.

• If you sleep more than 10 hours per night, subtract 4.

• If you are generally relaxed and easy going, add 3.

• If you are generally unhappy most of the time, subtract 2.

• If smoking a pack per day, subtract 7.

• If smoking 2 packs per day, subtract 8.

• If smoking half pack per day, subtract 3.

• If drinking more than 1 ½ oz. of liquor per day, subtract 1.

• If overweight by 30 – 50 pounds, subtract 4.

• If overweight by 50 pounds or more, subtract 8.

• If you are between 30 – 40, add 2.

• If between 40 – 50 add 3,

• If between 50 – 70 add 4,

• If 70 add 5.

 Your total score will be the estimated number of years you may live. But there is more. You are likely to live even longer if:

• Your blood pressure is less than 130/75.

• Cholesterol is less than 200.

• Resting pulse rate is less than 60 beats per minute with no breathing problems, asthma or history of chronic illness.

• Presently living with a pet and still work after age 62.

• Light eater, do not skip breakfast and has social contact besides your spouse.
