    Your "ideal" weight for maximum longevity is: 176 lbs


    compare that to my current 245 -- I'd say 74 is pretty optimistic

    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D

    78. Not bad. I'd guess the longer I stay quit smoking, the higher that gets? At least for a while surely...

    Based on your answers to the above questions, your current life expectancy is 90 years. If you're not happy with the result, consider that by adopting a healthier lifestyle and avoiding various risk factors, you can increase your life expectancy by up to 15 years.

    Your "ideal" weight for maximum longevity is: 194 lbs. ( i have to lose another 70lbs!!!)

    The three biggest positive factors that you have going for you are:
    1. Age of parents
    2. Diet
    3. Doctor exam frequency

    The three biggest negative factors that you have going for you are:
    1. Gender
    2. Weight
    3. Family health
