I came up with 87. That means next year I can justify a full on "mid-life" crisis.

There weren't any questions about crashing into trees or falling from high places. That would probably lower my expectancy of 89 a little bit.

6'1", 230, and I still live to 90. Long-lived ancestors is the primary reason.

That would make me a really, really, really, really oldbroad!

I do come from a long line of long living, hard working German & Scotch farmers. So, combine that with modern medicine, that # may not be too far off.

89, but what really is weird is that my 'ideal" longevity weight is over 30 pounds lighter than what I am now, WTF?
6'3" at 179 pounds? (Currently at 210-215.) Even by those rediculous BMI or whatever they are I haven't seen a weight that low.

82! Darn... I am over half way there. I guess I will have to bike more to get that number up!

Actually family history brings my number down... nothing I can do to change that.

102! Great, I'm more than halfway there. That means I have to do those
nasty ledge climbs at LYNN and NAM for another 40 years?????
I think I'm liking the drops more and more!! :^)

That's what I got, too. We should keep in touch so we can bike together.

This test doesn't work for me. Of my four grandparents, they died of black lung at 55, pneumonia at 58, complications from morbid obesity (stroke, heart failure, etc.), and natural causes from serious depression.

Besides, do you really want a Life Insurance company telling you how long you can expect to live, and that's why you need their products?

68....Oh well I will still be riding until I drop. :)

99?! Decent Genes I guess, I have my doubts also. But it said my ideal weight is 178! I'm a 6'3" 220lb "Big boned" guy...aint no way I'll be 178 anytime soon.

NUTS! I only got 99....Let's see 3 bikes in the last 10 years, combined with roughly 50 more years to go....carry the one...hmmm looks like I gotta plan on at least fifteen MB upgrades. Better call Fidelity

78. I guess the beer is going to kill me, or all the people on the bus I'm driving...

87 for me. I agree with Dan, 180 at 6'4" seems low. Maybe I am a large frame?

Seems the biggest thing going against me is my gender. Perhaps a lifestyle change is in order.

89 for me. Sounds OK. Getting into biking last year definitely helped. Except for the falling part.....

:D Ain't no such thing as "Big Boned" or "Large Framed". Anyone's physique has the potential to be skinny. I was fat from age 5 to 38. The somewhat muscular, but plenty pudgy guy. Always in Husky sizes and Relaxed fit everything. 5'8" and maintaining 180 to 185 lbs of pizza, chips, ice cream and other delicacies. An elevated cholesterol test and threat of a lifetime regiment of lipatore (or whatever...) - Kicked me! Wholesale changes to the diet, and while I was at it, a reduction in volumes/calories, has put me in size 30" waisted pants (last seen around age 12) and clothes form the kids department. It sure ain't easy to do, but climbing big hills ain't either. Anyone can do it, when you are ready. :soapbox: Sorry for the preaching, but if this hits one person, it was worth it. Life was always good, but skinny (by me) steps it up a few notches!!! Changed my MTB velocity a bit, as well... ;) Now I'm 145 pounds of twisted steel and sex-appeal!!! :D :D

And let me guess, you drive a humungous pick-up truck with oversized tires? I have this theory, you see, about little guys and huge trucks. The shorter the guy, the bigger the truck.
