How to live longer: THIS calculator tells you how many healthy YEARS you have left

How to live longer remains a growing area of science, with researchers studying the lifestyles of the world's longest-survining populations.

So far we know eating the , consuming more , reducing stress and being active can help add years to your life. Additionally, smoking and poor diet could significantly decrease life expectancy.

However, there is a tendency to focus on the total number of years left, rather than the number of 'good quality' years remaining a person has.

Researchers at the Goldenson Center for Actuarial Research at the University of Connecticut have created a to estimate how many 'healthy years' you have left.

It is the first time a measurement tool has been created to work out a person's 'healthy life expectancy'.

The researchers define an 'unhealthy' state as a severe enough state of disablement that there is no recovery, so you remain unhealthy until death.

Since this will often be influenced by lifestyle factors - such as smoking and alcohol intake - the researchers hope it will encourage people to make positive choices within their control.

Having a higher level of income and education are also factors that could help extend your number of healthy years. However, there are two factors that are out of people's control - age and gender.

Healthy life expectancy decreases with age, while women have a longer healthy life expectancy compared to men. The researchers note that healthy life expectancy is simply an 'educated prediction'.   .

Thanks to advancements in knowledge, the average life expectancy in the UK is now 81.6 years. For men it is 79.1 years, while for women it is 82.8 years.

Earlier this year there were concerns that rising rates of life expectancy were dramatically slowing after more than a century of continuous progress. An expert at University College London, Sir Michael Marmot, said he was "deeply concerned" by the findings.

How Many People Do Providers Watch? - Duration: 1:09.

When you're picking a remote monitoring provider it's just like when you pick in

a regular HPC Provider. You have free choice you're going to do interviews you're

going to talk to him you're going to ask some of those questions.

Now I've gone out and visited some of the ones and it's really kind of specific on

time. So if you are receiving services in the evening well most people are not at

work in the evening they're home and so that's when the majority of remote

monitoring services are going on. So they may have up to 16 people

that they're watching at one time there. Right. Now all of those are so these

centers are pretty spectacular. They have multiple monitors that are

going on a stack of them that have the camera showing up. As I mentioned

before they have motion sensors on them. So if you have a camera that motion

turns up on it flashes they can direct their eyes to that one. So it really is a

very high technology impressive piece to look at but so back to my point again

was so if you're in the evening there may be multiple people up to 16 perhaps being

watched at the same time. If you're getting remote monitoring services in

the daytime when people are at work you may be one of only a very few people

that are being utilized.
