This is why the ScienceFact was developed
Personal life expectancy is influenced by numerous factors. The ScienceFact “Life Expectancy Calculator” was developed to give people a better understanding of these factors and motivate them to make healthier life choices.
Data basis and scientific foundation
The calculation of individual life expectancy is based, among other things, on data from the Federal Statistical Office and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Scientifically sound data is analyzed to enable users to classify their results in comparison to the average population. Algorithms enable a precise analysis of the individual data and translate the complex results into an understandable visualization.
The relevance of ScienceFacts for science
This ScienceFact can make a significant contribution to preventive health research in particular by supporting scientists with valuable anonymized data and raising awareness of the importance of a healthy lifestyle among the general population. The user data collected, which includes health and lifestyle-related factors, enables researchers to identify new correlations between lifestyle and life expectancy.
By simply integrating the widget on health portals or prevention platforms, the life expectancy calculator reaches a broad target group and creates a direct link between scientific research and people's everyday experiences.
In addition, the life expectancy calculator opens up the possibility of testing preventive measures in the long term. Through anonymized data and feedback from users, scientists can better understand which factors influence behavioural changes and which interventions are actually effective. With these findings, the calculator can not only serve as a tool for education and awareness-raising, but also support scientific research. The aim is to improve people's health in the long term and positively influence life expectancy through sound prevention.
