Can you live beyond 75?

A new health calculator chart created by scientists at the University of Zurich in Switzerland might be able to tell you if you can live beyond 75 for another 10 years. The  prediction of their likelihood to make it to 85 are based on the individuals alcohol consumption, level of physical activity, smoking habits and fruit consumption  and other daily habits.

A 75-year old man with the worst possible health habits, per the chart, has a 35% chance of living 10 more years, while a 75-year-old man with the best possible habits has a 67% chance. Elderly women who smoke, drink, eat little fruit and exercise rarely had a 45% chance of living another 10 years, while women who were healthier boosted their odds to 74%.

Smoking, bad eating habits, minimal exercise and excessive drinking impacted the  lifestyle and raised the early death risk rate . Based on the chart, a 75-year-old with healthy habits can live longer than a 65-year-old with unhealthy habits, showing age really is just a number. Eating haelthily, quit smoking and consuming fruits is very important.One of the study's authors, Eva Martin-Diener, said that the tool would be especially helpful to doctors to help them give necessary and strategic medical advice to patients and prevent diseases.
