The original "Death Calculator" life-expectancy predictor ... Dr. Demko's most comprehensive version to date. Use the Death Calculator to estimate your current life-expectancy. Then learn ways to increase your life-expectancy score. Here’s how the Death Calculator works: STEP 1: Answer all 201 questions about your lifestyle and genetic inheritance. STEP 2: Add or subtract years based on your answers. STEP 3: Your final score is an estimate of how long you will live. A score less than 77 years is a "wake-up call" alerting you to take positive action. Long life isn't the result of smart genes and dumb luck. In fact, 80% of longevity is based on lifestyle. Living 100 years depends on: genetic inheritance (good genes give you a good head start), social outlook and relationships (meaningful lives last longer), personality (self-concept, attitude, coping skills) nutrition and diet (you are what you eat, how you eat, and where you eat), exercise (aerobic for cardio fitness, anaerobic for strength, neurobic for brain power) environmental factors (air quality, exposure to toxins, place of residence) risk behavior (substance abuse, promiscuity) and much more. The DEATH CALCULATOR points out potential risks to wellness status, and motivating the pursuit of a healthy, active lifestyle under the supervision of your doctor. Wellness is not a solo sport. Work in concert with a licensed, board certified professional in your area of concern. Remember, common sense dictates that you seek and follow the advice of qualified professionals: ... a board certified geriatric physician for health concerns, ... a licensed registered dietician for food and nutrition concerns, ... a licensed certified fitness professional for questions about exercise, ... a licensed certified geriatric social worker for eldercare concerns.
