Amazing Calculator will help you know how many years you will live.

There are so many calculators in the word but this one is so unique. This will help you know that how many years you will live.


This calculator is based on 5 main five unhealthy habits which account for more than 60 per cent of premature mortality. Here are 5 main unhealthy habits:



1. Too much smoking,


2. Excess alcohol consumption


3. Poor diet


4. Sedentary behaviour

 
5. Stressing out


Drinking and sitting is also a major contributor to more than 50 diseases, including the end-of-life Final Four – heart disease, cancer, diabetes and COPD. A new study concludes Ontarians would gain 7.5 years of life expectancy by eliminating five unhealthy habits. The Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, the University of Ottawa and the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences released a study this morning showing 60 per cent of deaths in this province are attributed to smoking, alcohol, poor diet, lack of physical activity and stress. Researchers say Ontarians could become the healthiest people in Canada by reducing the five "unhealthy behaviors." Smoking, physical inactivity and poor diet each contribute 2 to 2.5 years of lost life expectancy. The study adds increasing physical activity and improving diet are the most common changes Ontarians could make to improve their health.



The calculator was created as part of a new report published Monday that found 60 per cent of deaths in Ontario are linked to five controllable lifestyle factors: smoking, alcohol, diet, physical activity and stress. “I was taken aback, even though I work in this field,” said Doug Manuel, lead author of the report and senior scientist at the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences and the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute. If people changed even one bad habit, they could gain several years of life, according to the report published online Monday by the ICES and Public Health Ontario. For the report, researchers examined responses from Ontario health surveys, which question people about habits, such as diet. Using a database at ICES, they were able to see what happened to survey respondents over time and the age at which they died, helping them determine the relationship between health risk factors and longevity. Dr. Manuel and his colleagues decided to create the life expectancy calculator as a tool to help Ontarians see how their lifestyle may affect their health. It’s available online at rrasp-phirn.ca/risktools. The calculator doesn’t guarantee accuracy and can’t account for people with pre-existing medical conditions. But, in general, it reveals how behaviour, such as the amount of exercise you get, can affect life expectancy. The results also show how your risk factors compare to others and tells you which ones need the most improvement.
