Welcome to the Estimated Lifespan Calculator. While the term "mortage" is often associated with financial loans, in this context, we're interpreting it as a playful or alternative spelling for "mortality age" or "mortality gauge." This calculator provides a simplified, speculative estimate of an individual's total lifespan and remaining years based on several lifestyle and genetic factors. Please remember that this is a highly generalized model and not a medical or scientific prediction. Many complex factors influence longevity, and this tool is for informational and entertainment purposes only.
Understanding Your Estimated Lifespan
This calculator uses a baseline estimated lifespan and adjusts it based on the inputs you provide. Each factor has a weighted influence:
Current Age: Your starting point for calculating remaining years.
Smoking Habits: Smoking is a significant risk factor, and higher consumption generally leads to a reduction in estimated lifespan.
Exercise: Regular physical activity is linked to improved health and can positively influence longevity.
Diet Quality: A balanced, nutritious diet (higher score) is associated with better health outcomes and potentially a longer life.
Family Longevity: Genetic factors play a role. If your parents lived longer, it might suggest a genetic predisposition for longevity, and vice-versa.
It's crucial to remember that these are statistical correlations and not deterministic predictions. Individual health, environmental factors, medical advancements, and unforeseen events can all significantly impact actual lifespan. Use this tool as a fun way to consider how lifestyle choices might broadly influence your health outlook.
Example Calculation:
Let's consider a 30-year-old individual with the following characteristics:
Current Age: 30 years
Smoking Habits: 0 packs per day (non-smoker)
Exercise: 5 hours per week
Diet Quality: 8 (good diet)
Family Longevity: 85 years (parents lived longer than average)
Using our calculator's logic:
Baseline Lifespan: 78 years
Smoking Adjustment: 0 packs * 4 = 0 years (no change)
Exercise Adjustment: 5 hours * 0.6 = 3 years (added)
