How old, going by your family, do you think you'll live for?

[-:Undertaker:-]

A simple question.

So assuming you lived around the same age as your family members, what age range are you likely to hit?

My great grandmothers lived until their late 80s/early 90s but my great grandfathers I actually don't know. Certainly not as long.

Assuming I followed the grandmothers it'd be 90, but I personally don't think i'll make it to 70 let alone 90.

You?

Men in my family don't live very long so between 45 - 60 which is quite sad

The girls in my family have probably gone from 60-80. I hope I live till around 70

[scottish]

about 90

it varies really its been a mix between 60-98
the females are still living though at 46/75/80 and one recently passed at 98 im not sure about anyone passed my time thingy but hopefully a fairly old age like 80-90

I probably won't be retired when I die, so 65-70 and I'll be gone; saying that, all my grandparents are in their 80s at the moment

Probably 90 but hoping 100 I want that card off whoever is king (or Queen) at the time I mean....

About 70 it seems :( what a sad topic I feel so sad now

45.

Between 70-90, I think. But I have no clue about my mum's paternal family so they could bring that right down.

My father and I think my grandfather (my father's father) both died at a young age with a heart attack. Well, middle-aged, certainly not old. So I guess that isn't a good sign. I have no idea about my father's mother or anyone else in my father's family.

My grandmother (mother's side) died before her 70th birthday, and both of her parents died of a heart attack (although they weren't what you would class as young, not incredibly old though).

I don't think I'm doomed to die really young, but I doubt I'm going to live to an old age.

my great nan lived to 100 but i would hate that, probably 70-80

My grandma and granny have both lived to be over 90 so far. My granddad lived to be 91 but had dementia.
And my other granddad was 86 when he died but he committed suicide so I guess that doesn't count.

I hope I'll live to be old but I honestly have no idea and how old my grandparents are gives me no clues as to how long I'll live for whatsoever.

I'm thinking roughly around late 70's

[Alkaz]

About 83.

The men on my Dad's side tend to live well into their 80s and, on occasion, push into their 90s. My Mum's side I'm not so sure. I know my "grandad" (though I never knew him) died young, but that was due to smoking. So basically, if I stay healthy I should reach a ripe age.

no one has lived past 75 but my family are smokers and alcoholics
i would be very happy to live to that though, considering the health problems in my family
