Will I Live to see 80?

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. (Now over 65.)
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 or wine?'
'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 all red
meat is very unhealthy!'
'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf,
sailing, hiking, or flying?'
'No, I don't,' I said.
He asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of
sex?'
'No,' I said.
He looked at me and said,...
