I was told 12 years ago that I have the knees (mainly my shredded right knee) of an 80 year old man, who had lived a hard life. Sports will dio that to ya! That's all I need to know!

Ha...thats what my doctor told me...but its was the joints of a 70 year old woman...same difference. He also said that my BMI of 20.3 is not healthy...that I do not understand...

[Sparrow]

I did this a few weeks ago, but it only goes as high as 1989, so mine was off, think it said I'm a 27 year old (Really 17).

0o0o is it like a trick knee? gives you problems when it gets cold?

It used to be. I'd turn on it the wrong way sometimes, and hit the deck in a split second. But now it is just crooked (bowed outward a tad) and it tends to lock up, but not give out so much anymore.

[Msterbeau]

36.8

Oh, and yeah Hunhee, when it gets cold, the titanium set screws holding in my ALC graft start screaming. I can usually sense when a storm front is coming (2-4 hours ahead of time) without fail.

[Destroit]

It told me that I'm 23.1 when really I'm 23.6ish! YEAH! I'm sure what kept them from saying anything younger is the fact that my right knee is fucked up, and they did ask about your joints.

Oddly I think this is kinda cool. I mean it's not cool that you have to have a titanium screw, but to know that you need to dress for the weather ahead of time is really cool!!

I just get really bad migraines when the weather switches.. speaking of which.. :groans:

Does that mean you have the knees of a 92 year old man right now?

Ah...but itsn't being too skinny a problem too? When I wrestled I needed to get permission from my parents, my family doctor, and a state doctor because my body fat percentage was extremely low. Low body fat by itself isn't bad but combined with my weight, height, and a few other things it somehow meant that I was at risk for something. Since then I have gained about 8 pounds to become the hefty 145 that I am now...but apparently my doctor doesn't think that its enough.

...& that when he dies...he can be recycled! :unsure: right?

...SO...I took the lil' quizitty thingy.....35.8...considering I am a smoker...I'm FINE with the score...

[TheGimp]

iam 21.8 years old and being a smoker and drinker and other things it told me iam 28.5

[Eevee]

Bullshit!

I had to make myself 20 in order to take it.

Apparently my "RealAge" is 27.3.

Damned anxiety...

[torn asunder]

[Guest greyhalo]

I don't even want to know. It's older than my actual age though. I have lots of genetic health issues. Blah.

[bean]

RealAge: 27.9

I'm 29.4

My results say 38.7

They say I need to buy a larger vehicle, I need more time to myself and I eat too much red meat.

(Are they going to pay for my larger vehicle and the gas and insurance?)

(Are they going to pull me some more time out of the thin air?)

(Anyone who knows me knows I HATE red meat, but I have to eat it due to my Anemia.)

That's the problem with one-size-fits all quizzes. Mine said I was 40, but that's mostly because of the red meat, small car, diagnosed anxiety disorder (why do they assume that I'm not doing anything about it?), I don't know how much of each vitamin and mineral is in my daily supplement, and I smoke. The only thing I plan to change is that last one, and I have a date picked out in August.

It's actually worse to quit smoking. Besides the fact that most quitters become self-righteous pricks, not saying you will be, there are some added medical problems. Mayo and some other hospital in Britain have been doing a joint study and have found out that absolute smokers and people that have never smoked have been better off than quitters.

Not to mention the multiple medical reports saying that the effects of smoking have been abused and tampered with by others...but then again its your decision and I don't force people to do anything.

What the hell does red meat have to do with anything? My doctor told me to increase my intake of red meat...which I didn't think was possible.
