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

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.


“How long will I live?” or “When will I die?”
