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.

Average penis size revealed – and how many men have a smaller than average schlong

Whether you are well endowed or lacking in the trouser department, most guys have wondered whether their todger measures up to the average.

In fact it can make lots of men self-conscious and a recent study by the University of Kentucky which polled more than 14,000 people found that 45% of men want a longer one.

But it may be welcome news to find out that most guys are smaller than average. According to a new study 83% of penises are shorter than a typical condom by almost one inch.

After measuring 1,661 men, researchers found the mean erect penis length to be 14.15cm (5.57 inches) and the average circumference was 12.23cm (4.81 inches).

Although the average condom is 17cm (6.69 inches) in length, so the average penis comes up 2.5cm (0.98 inches) smaller. You may be wondering why condoms are so much bigger than a normal schlong.

Debby Herbenick, a sexual health expert at Indiana University, told the New York Times: "The idea was it had to be long enough to fit most men, and excess length could just be rolled.".

It's important that men use condoms to protect from unwanted pregnancy and STIs – especially considering that the rates of sex diseases are continually on the rise in the UK.

In fact, London bagged the title for the highest rate of STIs in the country and by a long stretch in a recent survey.

"If you think you have an STI, the most important thing is to get tested" Brigitte Bard, sexual health expert Research showed that there were 13.96 cases of STIs per 1,000 people in the British capital – so one in four were diagnosed with a new disease over the course of the year.

Brigitte Bard, founder of Sexual Health Revolution, Last Taboo and CEO of BioSure UK, said: "If you think you have an STI, the most important thing is to get tested so you can get treated.

"This protects your own health and stops you passing the infection on to anyone else.. She continued: The sooner treatment starts, the better the outcomes.

"You can get tested at any local sexual health clinic, some GP surgeries also offer testing services or alternatively if you can't get to a clinic there are many self tests available now – but make sure they are CE marked so you know your result is accurate.".
