Rejoice, Goji, for by the time you reach 89, you will have realized your purpose in life.
Virtual: 32 (pretty close)
Expectancy: 77 (We'll see)
Expectancy: 77 (We'll see)
Just for messing about, I managed to get a virtual age of -2 and a life expectancy of 103
(based on a 30 year old to start with)

It means you've led such a pure, clean & virtuous life, it's as if you hadn't lived at all...
"You're perfectly suited to a career in data processing for a large multinational corporation."
Many doctors would (I'd go so far as to say should, though I'm biased due to my speciality) ask the first two if you went for a routine annual check-up.
The questions are a mix of risk factors derived from a combination of prospective & retrospective cohort studies, as well as some heavy actuarial table number crunching. It's similar to the kind of actuarial testing that insurance companies do when working out what your life insurance premium should be. For instance, if you drive a lot, your absolute risk of having a car accident is also going to be high. Since car accidents are a common cause of death, if your personal risk of a car accident is high because you spend a lot of time behind the wheel, your life expectancy will drop significantly on this sort of number crunching.
Over time, the models insurers use are tweaked on the basis of what ends up happening to their erstwhile clients (as well as incorporating other new data).

By the time I'm 89 I think my purpose in life will be getting the hell out of it.
But seriously, six?! I resent that. I'm not even going to be a virtual teenager again for seven years, and then I've got another 7 years of virtual hell.
I don't know how they calculate the virtual age (someone in this thread has figured it out). Mine is slightly lower than my actual age, but I would think the lower it is, the younger and the better.
Three of my grandparents (two grandmothers and my maternal granddad) lived to be in their lates 80s and mid-90s, but they lived in another country and did not have the "Western" diet that most of us have here. My dad's father died fairly young (in his 60s) of a cardiovascular-related illness, and he was a smoker.
I have a family history of diabetes, high-blood pressure, and high cholesterol, and I'm just surprised mine's a bit higher than I expected (76.1). I don't drink, don't smoke, and don't do a lot of traveling and try to keep pretty active.

Hmm. Actual age: 32. Virtual age: 13.6. Life Expectancy: 92.4. 
This is terrible. I don't want to live to be 90?! This is even including honest answers about smoking and my complete avoidance of doctors. It must be down to family history or something, given that all my grandparents lived to at least 82 and there is no history of coronary disease, diabetes, depression etc.

I just ate some greasy fries so I am going to die any minute.

I'm 38 and this thing claims I'll live to be 75, which means my life is half over.
Complete bullshit, since I am already planning my 150th birthday party. There will be cake. You guys are all invited.
Bring presents. I prefer cash (or whatever the money eqivalent will be in 2120).

Biological Age: 29

Average Life Expectency: 74
[My] Life Expectency: 85.4

I have exactly 200000 days left. I like all the zeros at the end of that figure.
My biological age is 24. My virtual age was 40, and my life expectancy is 58. 
Though 58 isn't bad for what I have. Should prob go the doctors for all the other crap tho.
