How Is This Estimated?
This calculator starts with Nigerian baseline life expectancy at birth (WHO 2023: male 57 years, female 60 years). A conditional survival bonus is added for each year you have already lived beyond age 30 — because having survived to your current age means you are statistically likely to live longer than the population average at birth. Lifestyle adjustments are then applied:
- Smoking: −7 years (consistent with global epidemiological data)
- Exercise (sedentary): −3 years | Active: +3 years
- Health (excellent): +3 years | Fair: −3 years | Poor: −7 years
- Conditional bonus: +0.5 years for every year survived beyond age 30
