Scientists Can Predict Your Time of Death by Answering 13 Questions

Two Swedish scientists have developed an online 'risk calculator' that predicts a person's likelihood of being alive in five years based on 11-13 questions about their lifestyle and health. The calculator, created using data from 500,000 participants aged 40-69, takes into account factors such as age, smoking habits, wealth, and experiences of loss. While the results are not intended to be an accurate prediction for individuals, they serve as a reminder that none of us should assume immortality and can prompt lifestyle changes for better health.
