- - -based on your past history of medical problems , or usually good health . And based on your parents' age at death and cause of death and their general health; and do you smoke and are you overweight.?
For example - - - - Here's my assessment of my life expectancy. I would expect to live to be about 86, if I had not had uterine cancer in ' 07.........b/c cancer tends to come back. So, my life expectancy is sqewed.(sp)
And I developed diabetes a few years ago. But, my aunt survived colon cancer and got diabetes and still lived to be 83. She died of heart failure. So, maybe there's hope for me yet .

I had a brain haemorrhage 26 years ago, cancerous liver tumour 11 years ago, both my Father and his Father died at the age of 42, I'm currently 59, I love hearing the birds chirping every morning I wake up still alive and relatively healthy, every day's a bonus.

I'm insulin dependant so I'm S.O.L. on the average. Both of my siblings died before age sixty. As long as I beat them.... Both of my parents were in their 80's and a grandmother made it to 105! But she was a step.......

Yep, every day is a blessing and an opportunity. My goal is 100, but being overweight, borderline diabetic, and a history of all kinds of disease in the family...who knows when I'll step off a curb and get hit by a bicycle rider. They seem to all be colorblind regarding traffic lights.
My mom was almost 95, a dialysis patient for 7 years, and she had triple bypass, a perforated ulcer, and pulmonary issues in her late 80's. She brought my dad back from being attached to a feeding tube when he had complications from emergency quadruple bypass surgery at 79. He lived until age 87; a staph infection contracted IN THE HOSPITAL killed him, but he had a number of health issues.
My dad's younger sister is 85; his brother died at 94. Both his parents died of issues that aren't relative to the question.
Nine of my mom's siblings were in their 70-80's; heart issues took the other two. Grandma was 88 and Grandpa, like my other grandparents, died of "unnatural" causes.
Most of my parents' generation had long lives; a cousin recently died at 96, and one is still quite active at 101.
We'll see; I am in God's hands.

I'm glad he gets to take this trip and hope it is filled with fun that makes for happy memories. My friend's sister had to cancel her long planned trip to Hawaii, as her recently diagnosed cancer is so advanced and aggressive.

Both of my parents died in their mid eighties. Neither (especially my father) ate properly and both lived a very sedentary life style. I figure I'm good for a while especially since I'm not really convinced that our parents illnesses/lifestyles have any direct correlation to when their offspring will drop dead! I would expect that a different lifestyle should produce different results.
