A majority of Americans don't believe Joe Biden will live through another term in office — but experts say it is actually Donald Trump who is less likely to survive the next four years.
That is the conclusion of professors at the University of Chicago and the University of Hawaii, who said that while gaffe-prone President Biden, 81, is older than Trump, 77, he has a better diet, exercise routine and genetics, which are three drivers of longevity.
The researchers were responsible for a controversial report during the 2020 presidential campaign in which they gave Biden a 95 percent chance of surviving until 2024 and Trump a 90 percent chance.
While they have not yet fully pronounced on the matter this time around, they gave their latest predictions in an opinion piece published earlier this month.
The experts said there was a 75 percent chance of Biden surviving to 2028, at which point he will be 85, while Trump's odds are 'slightly less favorable'. Either way, whoever wins will be the oldest President ever in history.
Professor S. Jay Olshansky, from Chicago, revealed his new life expectancy predictions for Trump and Biden in a commentary piece for The Hill. It was co-authored with Dr Bradley Willcox, a geriatrician at the University of Hawaii, who was also involved in the 2020 report.
He pointed to Trump's notorious love for fast food and soda, as well as his bad sleeping habits (once claiming he only slept a mere three hours a night).
Olshansky also highlighted that Trump's father suffered from Alzheimer's, meaning there could be a genetic risk.
Biden, by comparison, eats a healthy diet and reportedly exercises nearly every morning.
All four of Bidens younger siblings are also still alive and dementia has not previously been recorded in the family.

“I learned about roaches. I learned about kids jumping on my lap. And I love kids jumping on my lap.”
Corn Pop speech, Joe Biden
I’m 75
When I’m 81 I hope I’m just a regular ager
And right there, you know that every word that follows is b.s., or 100% wrong, or both.
"50 former ageing community officials say that Biden is fully fit for a 2nd term".
Possibly, but maybe it’s a threat to President Trump’s life. Kind of reads that way.
“”””That is the conclusion of professors at the University of Chicago and the University of Hawaii,””””
And the 51 former intelligence officials are also in agreement with these professors.

There was an article saying Ruth Bader Ginsburg was able to do more than her aerobics, Pilates, and Yoga instructors - they couldn’t keep up with her.
She was dead a week later.
What I’d like to know is how much these “experts” are being paid to lie.
Good one.
That’s right.
Science or science fiction?
No one needs to pay them to lie. They’re all in on the leftist elitist scam.
This Article has to be the dumbest one ever written on FR....
Super-ager Man
There’s a man who leads a life of danger
Everyone he meets they stay a stranger
With every turn he takes another chore for Jill he makes
Odds are he won’t remember things to do tomorrow
Super-ager man, super-ager man
They’ve given you a number (81), I know they’ve take away your uhh, the thing.

Very Stable Genius President Donald John Trump attended NINE rallies in the final two days of the 2016 campaign. Nov 6th & Nov 7th, 2016. NINE!
Ho Xiden can’t do two rallies in two days, let alone fill venues to the rafters, and have MORE people outside than inside, whom could not get in due to occupancy restrictions.
I’ve never heard of Biden’s morning exercise “routine” ... he looks like he can barely pick his feet up when walking these days.
I still think most of those vigorous biking and “playing with the dog on the beach” photos & videos were a look-alike (where the press was kept pretty far back). One time I think it really was Biden on the bike is when he fell over after getting distracted by a cute little girl.
And didn’t Biden just say his favorite foods are “anything Italian” (pasta, bread, cheese) and MCC ice cream? Yeah, that’s really healthy ...
A cockroach can outlive a nuclear blast, so it’s possible since Puppet Biden comes from the same genus. /spit
“[Biden] has a better diet, exercise routine and genetics”
Nothing there about the actual health of the two individuals.
Wonder if these “old” frontrunners are the frontrunners because younger people know, perhaps, subconsciously, that they are a weaker, less prepared bunch than those from earlier generations.
In other words, our younger ones don’t have much respect for or trust in themselves.
