What does your biological age say about your health and projected longevity?
What is the Average Lifespan?
According to 2023 data, the average lifespan in the U.S. is 78.4 years for both men and women. For those who reach age 65, the average remaining life expectancy is 19.5 years, meaning many Americans will live well into their 80s. These numbers reflect steady improvements in healthcare, lifestyle choices, and access to medical advancements.
What Affects Your Lifespan?
Smoking
In general, people who smoke will have a shorter life expectancy than those who don’t. Our calculators use separate mortality tables for smokers and non-smokers.
Financial Stress
People under high levels of financial stress appear to have aged more over 10 years than people with low levels of financial stress.
Weight & Height
Being overweight can shorten a person’s life expectancy. A healthy target weight is based on height, and consistently exceeding that range may increase health risks and reduce longevity.
Alcohol Consumption
Excessive alcohol use is linked to a shorter life expectancy. Over time, heavy drinking can increase health risks and negatively affect overall longevity.
Blood Pressure & Family History
High blood pressure, and a history of cardiovascular problems and diabetes, can indicate a shorter life expectancy.
Diet
Americans whose diets include fresh, whole foods like fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes, lean meats, and fish have a lower incidence of significant chronic disease, especially diet-related diseases.
Exercise
Being active is one of the best ways to keep your body healthy. Exercise can improve overall well-being and quality of life.
