Calculator
About
the Calculator
This Calculator
is based on a quiz Harvard Medical
School researchers Thomas Perl,
M.D. and Margery
Hutter Silver, Ed. D. developed to help you calculate
your life expectancy. The quiz was developed after
a rigorous study
of 150 centenarians.
To compute your
life expectancy, the calculator sums
all of the individual score points
together. The result
may be negative, zero, or a positive number.
The
calculator program then divides the result by 5. The
result of
this division is then added to 84 if male or
88 if female, producing
life expectancy in years.
