- robocat 3y agoWhat are the top five factors for life expectancy? How active you are? Dietary choices? Your childhood? Bad life choices? Drugs, fast cars, unsafe activities? Work environment? Shift work, lung exposure to harms? What percentage of life expectancy is due to good healthcare? Noticably we can get some extra years at the end, but they can be low quality years. High quality years come from your context and life choices outside of doctoring.
