1 ALS is not contagious.  Although the life expectancy of a person with ALS averages about two to five years from the time of diagnosis, this disease is variable, and many people can live with the disease for five years and more. More than half of all people with ALS live more than three years after diagnosis.
Here are the main research findings: 1  Women lived an average of 4.6 years after diagnosis, men lived 4.1 years. 2  People diagnosed when under age 70 lived 10.7 years compared to 3.8 years for people over 90 when diagnosed. 3  Patients who were frail at the time of diagnosis did not live as long, even after adjusting for age.
