67.6 for me (and I do have an email address I use for SPAM email address collectors) but if I follow their guidelines I can live 'til i'm 67.4.......!
Deathclock says I'll be 73 when I'm 6ft under. Now what are the new state retirement ages???
I got 48.2yrs and I've exceeded that in May. So I must be on borrowed time. Eh?I am 48 and having input my 'data' (non smoker, diabetic t1, eat red meat, nuts, dairy but no lentils/beans or wholegrains) I have got a measly score of 64.3
Have sent this to my husband as it doesn't look as though we will have to save as much for our retirement as I had planned....

I did do this in good faith as it is based on the Blue Zones 'research'.
Can any of you lot get a lower score than me??
You and me both - but you've done better than me as I only passed my calculated life span last month - but I'm not paying them a penny for any and all borrowed time.I got 48.2yrs and I've exceeded that in May. So I must be on borrowed time. Eh?
Totally stupid but wastes a few moments

How will you die?
Aaargh, filled in the whole thing and expect I should have been dead already (apart from diabetes and very few whole (or other) grains and fruit) I'm also overweight by quite a lot, didn't finish education, smoke and drink too much but I'm not about to give them my e-mail address so I'll never know until I die and by then it will be too late to answer the question in your title.
I’m going to die at tea time, munching on a biscuit.
We don’t have “tea time” in the U.S. so can someone please tell me what time of day I should plan for my demise? I wonder if that GMT or my time zone. Also, are biscuits more like cookies v biscuits and gravy? Because if I go eating cookies, I’m happy.
Yes. The only one I've ever had, so it's a hotmail address and it's a combination of my name and my dog's...You only have one email address?
Have done so a couple of times in the past (so the above wasn't completely true) but never managed to remember my e- mail address and password for longer than I needed to get the results/free game/whatever I made that particular address for.Rush over to Gmail immediately and register a throw away address for using on this kind of site!
Have I misunderstood? Is this tongue in cheek? In your interpretation it would mean more T2 in the North specifically because of the differences in what we call our meal times. I am Northern and I have never used the phrases 'elevenses' or ' brunch' or 'afternoon tea'. (Granted, you didn't use the word brunch but it has the same ish connotation). You infer a difference in the amount of meals between north and south may I ask if this difference starts at Watford?Tea time depends on latitude.
Different meanings in the North and South.
Full Northern meal schedule:
Breakfast
Elevenses
Dinner
Afternoon tea
Tea
Supper
With careful planning they almost merge into one.
Southern schedule:
Breakfast
Lunch (pronounced launch)
Dinner (pronounced dinn-aah, often taken quite late)
With my speculating hat on, I think the Northern schedule may have been based around factory working.
Once HSAWA started to kick in, factory workers has mandatory breaks to stop them fainting from hunger and falling into the machines and jamming up the production lines.
I experienced that as a nancy Southerner when I moved jobs to one that was more "industrial".
I was just unglazing and beginning to notice the day and get up a head of steam when everyone announced "teabreak" and headed for the canteen. Same in the afternoon. There were regular breaks every couple of hours to give the workers (and me) a rest.
Pernicious habit once it takes hold.
I mean, look at me now!

Sorry but I couldn't disagree more. Your premise seems to be grounded in CICO. And I am sure that I need not remind you that not everyone with T2 overeats, underexercises or becomes overweight/obese. We did not develope T2 because technology advanced in the workplace. We may have developed T2 because of technological innovation in the Food Industry (partly).Only slightly tongue in cheek, based on being born in Lancashire and moving to Essex when quite young.
So I don't know if it was pure Lancashire, or a mixture.
I do know that in Lancashire it is breakfast dinner and tea whereas in Essex it is breakfast, lunch and dinner.
To me brunch is breakfast eaten so late that is effectively also lunch and a single meal, whereas I am talking above about three separate meals with (small) gaps in between.
I am more serious when I say that I think that it could be related to factory labour which was heavily manual and required a lot of food just to keep going.
I also remember at school having a break mid-morning and mid-afternoon. Still, when you are growing you need more food and I was never over weight as a child or teenager.
I suspect that a lot of T2 may be related to people growing up in a time of manual labour (docks, newspapers, car manufacture, coal mines) which required a lot of food and now being in an age of desk jockeys which doesn't require nearly as much food each day.

I will say again 'eat less move more' does not help in the long term.
I think we will or must leave it there. We are not going to agree on this.I think we may be in violent agreement.
A combination of modern foods and modern lifestyle seems to be driving both obesity and potentially earlier diagnosis of T2 diabetes.
A higher proportion of manual labour and the general use of home cooked meals produced from fresh ingredients (because that's what there was) may well explain why previous generations didn't have the same obesity problems.
I think back in the '50s it was "eat more, move more" and you didn't get fat because you burned all that energy off.
You did, however, end up physically knackered by the time you were in your 50s and 60s.
There is a reason why retirement age was set at 65, to give you a year or so to put your affairs in order before your body gave up.
