How long will you live? This question has been considered since indviduals started thinking. You have information about your parents' and grandparents longevity. Is their longevity a good indicator of your longevity or are other factors important? The Longevity Game allows yout to assess your own probablity of reaching a specific age based on your lifestyle. Go to http://www.northwesternmutual.com/learning-center/the-longevity-game.aspx and proceed with the questions.
1.) How long are you projected to live?
2.) Are you shocked, happy or surprised by the calculated number?
3.) What factors are the most positive? What factors are the most negative?
4.)What lifestyle factors could you change to increase your estimated life expectancy?
5.) Return to the game and change some of the lifestyle factors for which you received the largest negative numbers on the summary table. How much did these lifestyle changes affect your estimated life span?

the website would not come up so i couldn't do the activity, but I don't know if i really want to know how long i will live. There are many things that can contribute to how long you live, like if you drink, smoke, or do drugs. there are also many factors that can prolong you life like if you exercise and eat healthy.
ReplyDelete(leslie hill) the website isn't working it sent me to an error page.
ReplyDeletei tried to do the blog, but the website said there was some kind of error. So, i couldn't. but i would like to know how long im going to live, so please fix it(: lol ily mrs.halll!
ReplyDelete1) I'm projected to live to age 89
ReplyDelete2) Surprised&happy...I thought with my current exercise habbits it would definitely be shorter than that.
3) Positive factors would be that I don't drink or smoke and I always wear a seatbelt. Negative factors would be that I don't have an active excercise plan and that I don't always eat healthily.
4) I could excercise on the regular basis, and eat more fruits and vegetables.
5) Changing those factors added 11 more years to my life. But i changed my BMI because originally I'm below the average number you're supposed to have. But after I made it average surprisingly, my life span increased.
i tried doing it, and it sent me to an error page as well.
ReplyDeleteThis website didn't work. I tried it several days in a row and still I got an error page.
ReplyDelete1)I'm projected to live to age 80
ReplyDelete2)Im really surprised. Maybe if ima live healthy life style it will get even better.
3)Positive factors was no smoking or drinking...& also not being a heavy set?
4)I would definately try to get more excercises done $ eat more healthy food.

ReplyDelete1. i was projected to live until i was 92.
ReplyDelete2. im pretty happy with this number. my goal is to make it to at least 90 (:
3. some positive factors were that i have never smoked and i dont drink. negative was i dont exercise enough.
4. things that would increase the life expectancy is continuing not smoking and not drinking. And always being safe while driving.
5. i didnt really have a lot of negatives so i just changed all the answers and the life expectancy went up to 99. which would stink because if i made it to 99 i would want to at least make it to 100.

ReplyDelete1. I was projected to live until age 88.
ReplyDelete2. I'm pretty happy with that age. I would might want to live a little bit longer, but 88 would be fine too.
3. Positive factors would be I don't smoke, drink, or do drugs. And I buckle up. Negative factors would be that sometimes I don't eat too healthy, and I don't exercise as much as I would like to.
4. I would definitely exercise more. Which is going to change, since I just got a new treadmill(:
5. When I changed some of my factors, my projected age was 96. So it changed it by 8 years.
