if a man aged 55yrs old, has smoked since before he was 20, having around 20 fags a day from age 20-45 then has slowly cut down to around 2 or 3 a day at present. he has also suffered depression over the past 5 years. had a healthy childhood phisically but not mentally. had two children at age 39 and 40. he know is over weight, and has a very un-balanced diet, eats mostly meat. seems to have a problem with sweating. he gets dissy easily, and is drunk most nights. also has bad artharitus.

Well he is now into the critical heart attack phase of life and if he carries on like this I would calculate 5 to 6 years. Of course if there are long lived genes in his family then maybe a bit longer.

I don't know. But barring any accidents, I think the guy can extend his life by quitting smoking and drinking completely and changing to a healthy diet. Meat isn't so bad, but if one doesn't eat grains, fruit, or vegetables, they're making a big mistake. Also, I recently read that a diet with too much protein is supposed to cause one's testosterone levels to be lower than they could be. That can cause this guy to be depressed, especially when combined with the natural decline of testosterone in men about that age. So he should go to the library and get a modern Nutrition textbook and read about how to eat a balanced diet! Exercise would help too! Good luck!

He could have years left if he is not suffering any major health problems. Some people are just lucky. However, it would be wise for him to pay more attention to his diet and attemt to at least cut down on the smoking and drinking if he cant cut them out altogether as he is putting himself at high risk of a lot of major health problems.

I'm not a doctor so I couldn't say for sure but it doesn't look good does it?
5 to 10 years if he does nothing about it.

Right up to the date God wrote before he was conceived... he could outlive you, since you could get run over by a bus tomorrow... this is a cruel and badly put together judgement... not a question!

he needs to change his lifestyle really pretty soon. get help from a GP or nutritionalist coz if he stays like that he's really putting his life at risk.
