Want to know if you will die in 4 years?

OK me neither but anyway I heard about this on the news how a study came up with a survey for older adults to determine you chance of living beyond 4 years. I did some searches and found a site offering the survey: http://www.clinicallyinformed.com/health_survey.php

I was luckily under 4% but my mom was at 64%. Seems a little basic but interesting.

Those are just actuarial statistics that do more to help decide on insurance costs than to give individuals factual information.

Clearly we all know that the older we get the closer to death we are.

That site is a for profit site. No reputable medical person would tell you that the information is applicable to you - or even worth looking at.

Jusy my opinion.

Unless that website has a direct link to GOD then I think that nobody can say when death will come to anyone....Rick makes a good point " FOR PROFIT SITE " say no more

Statistically,you have more chance of being killed by a pair of trousers,than by filling in an on-line form.Total bunkum.

Well actually this survey is based on actual medical information and is 81% accurate which I think is pretty good. You can read about it here:

http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/medi...&nfid=rssfeeds

What site today is not for profit??? That is irrelevant.
