How long will you live?

MSN life expectancy calculator
BBC life expectancy calculator

I'll live to be 79-88.6 yrs. There was quite a difference between the two sites.

82 years based on MSN. It said my biggest negative factor was my gender, and it I wanted to increase my life span I should work on changing that.

The three biggest negative factors that you have going for you are:
1. Gender

MSN said 79. If I walk 2 miles a week, it's 81. Exercise like a fiend, I get an extra year to 82. If I actually eat fruits and vegetables with all the garbage I intake with zero exercise, make that 84. If I cut out the fat and walk 2 miles a week, it's 88. Exercise like a fiend and no fat, a bonus year to 89.

4-5 years of life versus all the bacon and sausage I can stomach. Hmmm. I think I'll start eating some fruits and veggies and supersize my lifespan to 84.

BBC said 90, even with all the tastiness. This one is pretty suspect. Edit: Forgot to add BMI. It said 29.07, which snatched 2 years from my life. Still, cheers to the BBC for giving me 4 extra years of sitting on my ass.

I have all four grandparents cancer-free, above 80. I wonder what'd they say if I told them I have a great-great uncle who will be 110 in September.

I tried the BBC one. First, I calculated my BMI to be 27.80. It said I'm overweight, but not necessarily so if I'm an athlete since muscles weigh more than fat (I swim and go to the gym three to four times a week). After answering all the questions, I got this:

I'll outlive all of you, but I'll most likely spend my twilight years in a nursing home trying to play Pac-Man.

Even with my smoking, because I work out and eat reletivly properly, the MSNBC says I will live to 76. I don't believe it for a second though.

Do any of you want to really live that long though?

I dont want to have to live long enough to the point that I have to have someone wipe my own ass for me.Seriously. I dont want to live past 55, so I got a little over 20 years left. Guess I better make them count...

72. Go me! Smoking, Drinking and Gender are my leading causes.

Smoking Marijuana increases life expectancy, right?

MSN = 69 years
BBC= 92.2 years

I'll stick with the Brits. ;)
