A member asked:

What is the expected life span for women and men who follow healthy routines, and those who do not follow healthy routines?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unpredictable: Genetics plays a small role and environment a huge role...As does attitude. You can be healthy with a bad attitude or sick with a good attitude and both live equally long. Jim fixx ( marathon runner) died young and george burns lived to 100. A healthy lifestyle keeps "genetic predispositions" from showing up and overall such people wold be expected to live longer. The will to live is important..
