Does Dr Pearl's Life Expectancy Calculator Really Work?
By admin on Feb 18, 2008 in Health
Dr. Thomas Pearl is well know for his simple and quick life expectancy calculator.
Does it work? How reliable is it?
I took the life expectancy calculator survey to see if it is everything it proclaims.
I'm very pleased to report Dr. Pearl's calculator predicts I have a life expectancy of 93.
Sounds good, except I was hoping to make it to 100. But according to the life expectancy calculator there's still hope of becoming a centenarian if I make a few changes in diet and exercise.
Here's what you'll be asked.
How you handle stress in your life?
Height, weight
Diabetes
Blood Pressure Readings
HDL, LDL Cholesterol
Your Educational background
Diet
Calcium Intake
If you take one aspirin per day
Sleep Habits
How much do you work?
Quality of air
Coffee,tea, alcohol consumption
Sun protection
Flossing teeth
How much barbecue, and fast food do you eat
Bowel Habits
It's easy and it only took me a few minutes. I was also given detailed instructions on what I should ask my doctor next time I go in for a check-up. This is very helpful and gives you something to work with. Living to be 93 is a goal I'll be paying more attention to, and I should know in the year 2049 if Dr. Pearl's life expectancy calculator got reasonably close.

I have a question (please e-mail reply to scotthiller2050@yahoo.com, thank you): what would be my personal average life expectancy based on my predecessors?: My Maternal Great Great Grandfather died at 91. My Maternal Great Grandfather was more average dying at 83. My Maternal Great Grandmother died at 85. My Paternal Grandfather died at 87 or 88. My Paternal Aunt Tabitha will be 101 in two weeks (her health is declining). My Maternal Grandmother is 82 and going very strong. My Father is 65 and as sharp as a tack (though he is diabetic, does not eat the healthiest food, and does not exercise). My Paternal Aunt Connie is nearing 90 years old and still going strong. My Mother is nearing 60 and still going strong (though her hearing has decreased, at times eats healthy, she smokes, and does not exercise).
The only bad point is my Maternal Grandfather; he died at 43 from adrenal cancer. He smoked, drank, and didn't eat the healthiest food.
I run 2-3 miles every day. I try to keep to 2,000 calories a day. Also, not only do I try to stay away from excessive salt, sugar, a lot of meat, and fat … if I have any, then I get bad heartburn and (I think) ARD! So, I am forced to stick to a diet of water, fruit, mixed nuts, stir fry vegetables & salad, and shrimp. But, I am 35 pounds over weight at 200 lbs. I was able to keep to 165 for two years when I was younger and felt great! I need to get back to that weight … but what would be my expectancy? Where do I go to find out? How can I keep an eye on it?
