Thanks charmerci for the direct link.
My link worked, but it was not as direct as your link.
I did the test again and came up with:
6.7%
That's not as good as yours,
but maybe that's because I am older than you
and I am diabetes type 2 ????

Hahaha!!!  I took the test and had a 0.7%.  However, I had one question I answered that I wondered if I answered differently: that question was if I was separated/divorced in the last two years, which, sadly, I had to answer yes.  That said, changing my answer to "no" but all else the same, my chance of dying increased to 0.9%  (draw your own conclusions...)

Yeah, the diabetes will do it.

I think mine would be lower I had to answer the smoking question positively - but I only smoked for about a year as a young teen. When I answered smoked once or twice, it reduced it to 1.6%.

They say that every cigarette one smokes shortens their life by seven minutes. For the average smoker, that equates to five years.

I figure that if I take ten minutes to smoke one, I'm gaining five.  :thumb:

4% here but does that mean that I should or shouldn't move to the UK?  :scratch:

The Brit test discriminates against old people who are still alive to be a test taker.  Does that mean I should be dead, don't have a year, or that I get another 72 years?   Not worried though.  I'm just glad to be able to listen to good music and sip the red wine.

Mine said 0.3%! But it didn't even ask about drinking. :nono:

I'm 0.6% and also wondered why there was no question on drinking  :scratch:.
I have to show this to my wife to let her know she has at least 5 more years with me!  8)
Ha!
Hope she can handle it!  :green:

0.4%

Seems like they left a lot of questions out (like do I live in urban/rural area or drug user, mental issues, etc).
