What is the life expectancy for an 86 year old male?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Unknown: There are different online tools to estimate survival. Functional status is critical. Some will come up with a finite number of days or weeks, but I would like to enforce that these are only estimates that do not correct for acuity of overlapping conditions. I use sometimes eprognosis developed at UCSF. Hope it helps.

You mean exactly?: While it is possible to make some educated guesses about life expectancy, it is no more possible to predict the true life expectancy of any individual of ANY age than it is to predict the Second Coming based on the Bible. People have been claiming to do both for a long time, without success.
