my wife just turned 66 this week, and she wants to know
(statistically) how much longer she is expected to live? She is in
good health, but she is about 50% overweight, and she doesn't
exercise. she is pretty sedentary, but she doesn't smoke cigarettes,
and never has. she doesn't have high blood pressure and is not
diabetic. she had a hysterectomy many years ago, and takes hormone
replacement medication. we've had four kids. Is this the kind of
question that you can answer?
Take a look at http://realage.com/
which takes a different approach to life expectancy -- This calculator
asks for lots of info about an individual's specific situation,
habits, and history, runs it through a fairly complex algorithm, and
responds in terms of what your "real age" or "biological age" is at
this time. More importantly, it gives specific information about what
actions can be taken from this point forward to lower your "real age,"
and even estimates how much each action is likely to add to your life
expectancy. Good tool, based on pretty good science and multivariate
statistics.
With the cursory information that you've provided, I am going to pass
on offering a hard number but I would have to say you should visit
some of the life expectancy calculators that I have listed below. Most
of them allow for more detail in the variables needed to accurately
project a life expectancy. You can define caloric intake, excercise
routines, and most importantly, past family history. I've personally
taken each of the quizzes below and have provided reviews of them.
Please take the time to complete each one accurately and thoroughly to
gague a meaningful average from the calculators below. I am a 22
year-old male with moderate excercise and a mostly healthy diet. Here
are the results and reviews of the calculators I've used.
----------
Great calculator, focuses mainly on family history and present medical
conditions:
http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/calcs/n_expect/main.asp
Calculated: 84 years
----------
Good calculator focuses more on eating habits & excercise:
http://www.beeson.org/livingto100/quiz.htm
Calculated: 88.6 years
----------
Not a very good calculator uses information from 1983 statistics in a
simple formula only looking only at current age:
http://www.retireweb.com/death.html
Calculated: 77.95 years
----------
Insurance company's "game" which focuses on risk factors:
http://www.northwesternmutual.com/games/longevity/
Calculated: 86 years
----------
Pretty good calculator writen by a college student with many
references to life expectancy studies & data:
http://diskworld.wharton.upenn.edu/~chuac/perl/CalcForm.html
Calculated: 79.20
----------
From these 5 calculators (there are many others listed on the link
below) I derived an average of 83.15 years and all hovered within a
couple years of each other.

Of course, this information is done using statistics and projections,
and may/may not accurately project your wife's life expectancy due to
extraneous influencing conditions, the best person to talk to to get a
good gauge of life expectancy would be your wife's doctor who could
look over past and presend medical history as well as past family
history along with current lifestyle choices to give you the most
accurate projection. Good luck and thank you for giving me the chance
to find my own projected life expectancy!
