Welcome to My Longevity

Our life journey is defined by time, our most precious asset. It’s important to make the best of what’s left – our longevity. Each of us is different, so we need to frame our own future and adapt it as things change. Using an average lifespan for our age can be very misleading, as explained here.

Babies born in developed countries are typically living about twice as long as 200 years ago. This is not because of evolution. It reflects what we have learnt since the Industrial Revolution began to significantly change our societies.

Time is our most precious asset and defines our life journey. Our goal is to make the best of the rest of our longevity. The first step is to frame our future usefully, but we are each different and average life expectancies are not much help. You can understand why here.

Life expectancies at birth have more than doubled in developed countries over the past 200 years. Evolution has not caused this. The Industrial Revolution caused major changes in what we have learnt and applied to managing our health better.

To plan the rest of our life journey we need to better understand our own time frame. Each of us is different, so to make the best of our longevity we need to understand what this can mean to our own life expectancy. As you can see here, average life expectancies are not helpful.

Doubling the life expectancies of babies in developed countries has been a consequence of the Industrial Revolution. We have applied what we have learnt to our understanding of health and how to influence it. Evolution has played no part in this change.

Our goal is to improve your understanding about what drives your own potential longevity and its three likely stages. Then you are better placed to make good decisions about your opportunities and challenges. Because our circumstances change, we benefit from an informed way of managing change too. This is longevity planning. We show you how to apply this this to encourage health, financial and legal professionals to use this information effectively, as over 270,000 others have done.

By understanding what influences your own longevity and its three stages, you can set goals to make the best of it. This frames how you approach your opportunities and challenges. Circumstances change and so you have a sound basis from which to adapt your longevity planning. This process also means you can engage better with health, financial and legal professionals and join over 270,000 people in more effectively managing your future.

You can influence your own longevity by understanding what influences its three stages and why you are different.

AUSTRALIAN LIFE TABLES

For a large group of people of the same age, it is possible to estimate their average life expectancy. These calculations are usually done after each Census and are called Life Tables.

Because people are increasingly different from each other as they age, there are problems with these numbers:

  • They are averages and don't take account of individual variations

  • They don't take account of the ongoing trend of people living longer

Over the last twenty years or so there has been an explosion in well-researched information about what affects personal longevity. We developed the SHAPE Analyser to take account of how this can affect individuals and what their own future might look like, building on the basic data in the Life Tables.

New information is constantly being published. We regularly update the SHAPE Analyser and website to take account of these developments, including when the Life Tables change.

MORE ABOUT LONGEVITY

For people the same age, the national Life Tables show their average life expectancy. But who knows if they are ‘average’?

The figure shows for those aged 65 what % are likely to die in groups of five years. The average survival is 21 years and sits inside the dark blue column. But this only contains less than a quarter of the age 65 group. So, most of us are not ‘average’. At 65, men are typically expected to live about three years less than women.
