Longevity: You are doing well. Keep up with your healthy habits, exercise, proper diet, decreased stress, adequate sleep. To try to predict the length of your life, look at your parents, grandparents, and other relative.

Life expectancy: For a healthy 70 yo male the life is 18 more years (88yo). Jama 2001;285:2750-2756 for you at 65 yo it could be 23 more years.
