Here's something to think about.

I recently picked a new primary care doctor. After two visits and exhaustive lab tests, he said I was doing 'fairly well' for my age (I'm 69).

A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, 'Do you think I'll live to be 80?'

He asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco or drink beer, wine or hard liquor?

'Oh no' I replied, 'I'm not doing drugs, either!'

Then he asked, 'Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued Ribs?'

I said, 'Not much, my former doctor said that red meat is very unhealthy!'

'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, boating, sailing, hiking or bicycling?'

'No, I don't' I said.

He asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lots of sex?'

'No,' I said...

He looked at me and said... 'Then, why do you even care?'

(so my advice is have fun, life is short!!!)

I saw this one:

'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, boating, sailing, hiking or bicycling?'

and got worried, as I'm outdoors a lot.
