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.
