Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I'm not sure I like the UConn. It has me at 103.5 years. I'm definitely sure that my kids won't like it. How do you spell curmudgeon again?
LOL!

I played with it the same way, and it gave the poor person one year to live no matter what age he is, from 60 down to 30.
When I put in 20, it said life would end at 24.
No matter how they ran the numbers, if people thought they were “a lot less active” than their peers, this was associated with a statistically significant higher risk of death: at least 18% when compared to the general population (those whose data were not included), and up to 71% higher when compared to people who thought they were “more active.” Again, this is regardless of actual physical activity or other health risk factors (smoking, being overweight, etc.).
The findings are supported by the previous research of one of the authors. She studied 84 women whose job (cleaning hotel rooms) was very active. Half of the women were informed that what they did for work was very active, active enough to meet recommended exercise levels. The other half got a lecture about physical activity and exercise recommendations, but no one told them that they were sufficiently active. Interestingly, after only four weeks, not only did the informed women report that they were more active, they also had decreases in weight, blood pressure, body fat, waist-to-hip ratio, and body mass index.
Another question I have: if I check out sooner than this calculator predicts, do I have any basis to file a lawsuit?
Very interesting.
Ah, the power of positive thinking. How should the men of this forum put this into practice?
Easy! From now on, whenever you get up from your lazy chair during a televised football game to fetch a beer from the fridge instead of call out to your wife, count that as an exercise. And answer accordingly to online lifespan calculator or survey.
If you drink two beers during a televised game, that's light exercise. Four or 5, that's moderate. A six pack or more, that's heavy exercise.
