    Risk Adjusted Life Expectancy

    Please note that the life expectancy adjustment is an estimate only and provided without confidence intervals.

    The effects are also univariate and the interactions between the factors are not taken into account.

    Base Life Expectancy: 82.39 years

    Risk Factor Adjustment: 5.4 years

    Risk Adjusted Life Expectancy: 87.79 years

    Body Mass Index

    (Lancet Apr 2009)

    normal 18.5 - 22.5

    Smoking

    (BMJ June 2004) 

    never smoked

    Alcohol

    (J Epid Com Health Apr 2009)

    1-14 units per week

    Exercise (NEJM Aug 2005, Arch int Med Nov 2005)

    moderate 30-33

    So does the regular drinking account for the extra years? Although ‘moderate exercise’ is a somewhat generous (if not earnestly aspiration-al) estimation of my physical activity.

    Life expectancy calculations are probably not the most conducive activity for getting to sleep… Maybe I should get a TV? I heard Aldi is selling a big, fat cheap one… Does TV viewing correlate with higher or lower longevity? I bet it is significantly correlated to somnolence.


    treasure trove found in the trash-can

    Why did I tell Gmail to direct Fairfax updates straight into the Spam-can? Only now do I realise it’s 3 weeks to the City-to-Surf. I lost track of time (as per usual), so now I really have to start making a last minute effort to get ready.

    Things to do :

    • Look up the course, start times and areas.
    • Update Nike Running App on the iPhone. The whole thing has been buggy as hell.
    • Go running. (When I get over this cold.)
    • Maybe buy some of those fancy running pants and other performance enhancing paraphernalia (such as sweat bands and Sports drinks with electrolytes).
    • Go to the doctor and get a prescription for Ventolin and Seretide.
    • Check Race Guidelines to see if Segways are permitted.
    • Find Segway Rentals and compare daily or hourly rates.*

    and most importantly-

    • Make an absolutely awesome C2S Playlist! I imagine It will take me around 3 hours? So 3 hours of motivational muzak is a must.

    * For those who have a fascination with ironic (nonetheless tragic) deaths, the untimely demise of Jimi Heseldon (Segway Company Owner not Inventor) is one to read.

    I also found some Vimeo news and important user updates from Skype recently - (My credit is going to expire?!) nestled amongst the Viagara and penis enlargement advertisements.

    It’s a sad life when you realise you’re searching through your Junkmail for meaningful correspondence.
