| Ayecarumba Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 89 Posts: 1744 | The Ubble site has a simple 13 question survey (only 11 questions for women) that purports to calculate your risk of dying (with 80% certainty) within the next five years. Some caveats; it is only for folks aged 40 - 70, and it is based on statistics collected in the U.K., so if you are not in the U.K., take it with a grain of salt.... or don't travel to the UK if you get a poor result... |

You're a smoker and it's that low? Mine is 6.6% but I'm a lot older than you. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Smoking generally kills people in their 50's and 60's. Of course, many pertinent questions were left out that would likely increase my number. Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

These things are fun but mean nothing. Life is still a crapshoot, anything can happen. I can think of half a dozen people I knew well who would have fallen into the 5% category one year, and were dead the next. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
