I got about 86, not counting the possibility of political purges or
natural disasters.

This is a bit weird.

What they don't know is that I'm not careful crossing streets. I think
they may have put too much emphasis on practicing safe sex.

Interesting test, but I'm not giving it a lot of credance. I was given
89.6 years, which I'll take, but I think that is very surprizing since
I'm quite overweight, have diabetes, and have had relatives die from
cancer around age 50. I'm also not good about crossing streets.

We science-fiction writing swedish valhunds hardly ever live to age 89,
anyway! 😉

I'm crippled and haven't been swimming much lately, but I nevertheless got
~93 years -- probably because of my current Weightwatchers core plan diet,
which limits me to low-fat, high-fiber, unprocessed foods. Also, an
extremely long-lived grandmother. I don't think I'll reach 93 years unless
I manage to lose ALL the extra weight and swim more regularly.

I dunno. I got 96.8 and I do low carb (my plan is moderate protein and
high fat and while it actually is very high in veggies and other
unprocessed foods, there's no way the survey elicited that).

I think we just had the good sense to be born female. <g>

I got 94 - female, good blood pressure, and good cholesterol.

95.7 (I am angry that they "penalized" me for eating lots of rice and
bagels and al dente pasta...they are full of hooey about this!).

Worth 1.7 years, IMO.

Perhaps we should make reservations at the same nursing home, one with an olympic
pool.

And alien "Cocoon"s in the water. :-)

I got a 93 and I am male, good blood pressure and good cholesterol,
but with cancer in the family and not old parents who are still alive.
I will take it.
