Your healthcare provider diagnoses coronary artery disease (atherosclerosis) based on your medical and family histories, a physical exam, and results from tests. If you have coronary artery disease, your healthcare provider may recommend other healthcare specialists.
The news is a little better for women, a little worse for men. Life expectancy for females is 81.2 years; for males, it's 76.4 years. That difference of 4.8 years is the same as in 2011.
This life expectancy calculator is based on a statistical regression of more than 400,000 data samples. The data was collected by the National Institute of Health and AARP. In the United States, the average 65 year old male can now expect to live to 87 and female to 89. Many can expect to live much longer.
