What is the life expectancy of a healthy 62 year old retired dentist?

That depends on many: Things. I could quote meaningless population averages and say 78, which is the current average for our nation. But depending on lifestyle choices and circumstance he could live to be 110 or die tomorrow in a freak accident. So let's think positive and say if he takes care of his health, eats right, doesn't smoke, drinks only 2-3 drinks a week, exercises daily and thinks happy thoughts, then 100.
