原始调查数据的分析显示，白人男性吸烟者估计他们的寿命比不吸烟者少四年，大致是精算差异。不运动的人的预期寿命与运动的人相同，这与现有的死亡率信息有些不一致。拥有长寿父母和祖父母的男性预计比那些拥有短命祖先的男性多活12-18年，这远远超出了研究显示的实际寿命。超重超过15%的男性预计会少活4年，这比公布的精算差异更大。
Analysis of original survey data shows White male smokers estimate their longevity as four years less than that of nonsmokers, roughly the actuarial difference. Those who do not exercise perceive the same life expectancy as those who exercise, somewhat inconsistent with available information on mortality. Men with long-lived parents and grandparents expect to live 12-18 years longer than those with short-lived forebears, far longer than studies of actual longevity imply. Men who are more than 15 per cent overweight expect to live four years less, a larger impact than the published actuarial difference.
