(For a precise answer, yes, but there must be general patterns here. I'd like to know what those patterns are.To put it in perspective, if someone wanted to know when they might die then no-one could give them a precise answer. But we do know that UK life expectancy is 80.75 years (<a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=uk+life+expectancy" target="_blank">thanks google</a>), and there must be other statistics out there about how smoking, healthy eating etc. affect that. So they could get a rough idea, and a rough is what I'm looking for here.Do we know when blindness, strokes etc. usually happen - 10, 30, 50 years after diagnosis? Or even where these kind of statistics would be published?</blockquote>
