I am not sure on your question...But, I do know that life expectancy can be shortened by worrying about it....Make every minute count...Have the time of your life....

I figure this way...There are thousand of pieces of space junk in the air floating around and waiting to come down...One of them could come down and kill me...Should I worry?...

My Father died at 59 of a heart attack and this disease runs rampant in my family....With this in mind, anything goes....

Have fun....On your question, I am sure it shortens life, but what is short??????

Best wishes,
Caroline

It depends on the overall health of the patient and most important what he or she does to prevent another. Eating healthy and having frequent doctor visits will definitely play a key role.
