Predicting Life Expectancy: Would You Want to Know?
If you could find out today how long you will live into older adulthood, based on the course of nature, would you want to know? There is no scientifically accurate way to make these predictions today, but there is a quiz that can estimate how long you’ll live based on your current lifestyle, genetic factors and your overall health today.
Everyone hopes for a long, healthy and happy life, but is there such thing as living for too long? After taking the test, a couple of us from Carebuzz believe that in fact, there’s such thing as too long. Our results showed that not only would we live to 100, we’d live past that huge milestone age, and we’re not so sure we want to. It might come from personal experience, having seen loved ones struggle through their 80’s and 90’s; and while we definitely want good health during our senior years, we’d rather it doesn’t result in living quite so long. We haven’t quite settled on the age we would like to make it to, but we’re sure that 100 and beyond isn’t it.
If you took the quiz, tell us how long it predicts that you’re going to live and how you feel about that number. Do you think there’s such a thing as living too long into older adulthood?
