My score said my life expectancy was 85 years.

Mike did the test and his came back at 84 years.

Someone commented that the test was "well done." Mike is a good indication of how slanted the test is. It takes in no current health issues. Mike is, as you know a type 1 diabetic, currently approaching end stage renal failure. Based on the test his life expectancy is 84. (I like that test's way of thinking!! but)

I think the test must be intended for those people who are currently absolutely healthy! Did I miss that in the fine print somewhere??

I got 82.2. I "lost" a bunch of weight and got 84.6. I tried to maximize the number by picking whatever answers I thought would give the highest answer (except height, sex and age) and I got 98.8. Doing the same going for a minimum score gives me 58.8.
