75 for me. Better than I expected, considering I'm overweight, take little exercise and eat way more junk than I ought to.

Really? My test asked me about enemies,frenemies and J-walking!

WilyCoyote · 17-04-2014 1:28pm

91 ........... and even if I take the precautions at the end - still 91 (though I feel like a zombie some mornings if I've over indulged the night before).
Is this how insurance companies do their numbers?

I did that quiz before and if I remember rightly, part of the advice was to take aspirin regularly. Not to kill pain or anything, just taking it regularly is apparently beneficial for health.

Yep, one a day was the first bit of feedback given to me...

Bad idea putting up your eMail address ....... you'll be spammed out of it PLUS a host of Nigerian men wanting to give you wonga. Do not accept money from strange men - my Mum always told me.

shampoo and conditioners apply

B.A._Baracus · 17-04-2014 1:48pm

So i did the test. It has loads of questions but then asks for an email... no thanks.

It's just a cleaver way to get email address and basic profile data.

I've just gone again. This time; 87.

Some suggestions to add years:

Examining yourself for cancer could add a year to your life expectancy
- By this thinking, purely by checking for a disease I may never get could make me live longer. :rolleyes:

Getting your blood pressure checked annually could add a year and a half to your life expectancy
- The same with this one- Even if I didn't get my blood pressure checked, there could be nothing wrong with it. That's 2.5 years they've stolen from me!

Increasing your exercise regimen to 5 days a week could add 1 year, to 6 or 7 days a week could add 2 years to your life expectancy
- The quiz said 30mins of exercise, but I'm also doing longer sessions which would surely equate to doing 6/7 days @ 30mins if those extra 30mins per day are crammed in to the other 4 days?

TL;DR - I'll live forever.

Pherekydes · 17-04-2014 1:57pm

I got 31. I used the wife's details and she got 31, too!

P.S. Before anyone asks, 31 years is how long I can expect to live for. From now. Doesn't look so big when you subtract your present age from it.

Had a heart attack about 7 years ago so am on 81mgs daily.
Now, there are things to be taken into consideration
Had a perforated ulcer last year. The Gastroenterologist told me that the Cardiologists keep them in work. I know it was tongue in cheek but there is some truth in it. Some people that have been on aspirin for decades and no problems but (like me) some people succumb to ulceration etc. I still take the baby aspirin but with another pill an hour before just to counteract the corrosive effect of said junior.
Everyone that has had a heart attack here carries a little NITRO (nitroglycerin) with them at all times. No, not to make bombs but to make the blood flow easier in the event of an attack. One put under the tongue does the trick - seemingly.

But doctors differ and patients die - the old advice seems to have been skewed. I think I'll believe The Indo for now and put on a fry!

I know what you mean MagicIRL ......... but the answer to these questions will allow them to make educated guesses about how you look after yourself and your knowledge of self well being. People of that ilk can catch things before they progress too far.

Glitter · 17-04-2014 2:09pm

91!

I am shocked. I eat well and exercise regularly but I drink and smoke a fair bit.
Feck. Better start considering a pension. Or put more effort into my drinking!

The premis of these questions is that I'm already sick with whatever illness is associated with each test because the results have already subtracted those years from my final score.

In reality, my score should read 91.5 years, with the possability of losing 4.5 years due to x, y and z.

Yep, I was told that at a course. It helps thin the blood to stop it clotting and as you said, flow easier.

danniemcq · 17-04-2014 2:37pm

92, hmmmm probably should start a pension although knowing my luck by the time i'm 92 the retirement age will be 93.

I'll feel like Yossarian having required flights raised over and over

cazzer22 · 17-04-2014 2:40pm

89- not bad!

toastedpickles · 17-04-2014 2:40pm

I'm keanu reeves, I don't age, the only thing that grows in me is awesomeness :pac:

danniemcq · 17-04-2014 2:41pm

For those worried about emails etc

If your email is say something like littleoldme@gmail.com

enter the first part of your email address so littleoldme then add a + and something like IQ spam before the @gmail bit

so you have littleoldme+iqspam@gmail.com (i think littleoldme.iqspam@gmail.com also works)

you will still get the email but you can add a filter for emails sent to the above email address so they are moved/deleted

Very handy for when you have to activate a link or something but don't want truckloads of spam

KungPao · 17-04-2014 2:44pm

Maybe being old in the future won't be so bad?

With all the technological & medical advancements that is. For the first time we'll have 90 year old coders & internet users. I'm excited!
