My granddad is 83 and he seems fine :dontknow:

But then ethnicity is also a factor I think.

Just curious.

Is it inheritance you're after? What ever you do don't kill him.

How can anyone answer this? My grandma was one child out of 10, there are 3 surviving including her and she's 90. It depends on pretty much everything.

I thought there was an average age of death, depending on when you were born. Obviously we live longer nowadays, but someone who is 73 might have grown up with a bad diet?

This reminds me of one of those online IQ test things:

If Jane has 8 apples and Dylan has double that, how many does Jack have if he knocks Jane and Dylan out and eats 4?

Well average expectancy used to be aprox 72, though this may well have risen.

No one will be able to give you a death year, too many factors effect it - lifestyle choices like smoking, and diet and genetics

and ofc just plain luck. could get run over, hit by a car etc.

What people seem to forget at most ages is that any one of us could die tomorrow. tonight. Death is one of two certianties in life. Birth, and Death.

EDIT: Just googled. 77 is average life expectancy

I've never met your grandad, personally.

So I'll say over 9000!

Are you familiar with a life table? Hang on ill try and find one.

EDIT: the average 73 year old male in the UK is likely to live another 11.14 years.

So till hes 84 :smile:

bear in mind thats an average, and the statistics are from 2003/2004 so its probably gone up a bit, expect about 12 more years.

HAHAHA, the way I read that was as if you are talking about the expected life of a fish to someone buying one for their kid.

:woo:

I fail to see the relevance of his current age.

Why? Someone who has already lived for 73 years is more likely to make it to 74 (or any given age) than someone who is only, say, 60, and hence his life expectancy is greater.

Anywhere between the next minute (I hope not) to twenty-five years from now.

Wellll my grandad's in his early eighties and he's still going strong. PLUS he's smoked all his life.
So I think your grandad may have a few more years left in him, but it really depends on his health.

soon hopefully

is he leaving you something good in his will?? He'll go alot faster if you help him along...

True, true. I suppose I was saying that the year in which you were born makes little difference to overall life expectancy (although it does make some seeing as life expectancy is increasing on a year by year basis) but you do make a point yes.
