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.

The Guttersnipe Barndon is my junior by 2617 days, and still, mentally and physically say I can best him at all, but being a SCUM BAG!

So what, he might live longer, but he’s already useless, so what’s the point of that stat?
Biden, by comparison, eats a healthy diet and reportedly exercises nearly every morning.
Joe works out on the stairs frequently. Then a set of pushups
complete the morning before falling over on his bicycle. Then ice cream. Come on, man.
In banana years, Biden is already digested banana bread.
How have his light blue eyes turned brown or black?

Criminal behavior really runs throughout that pathetic family.

Thank you. Yes
It’s so obvious they pump him full of stimulants for speeches like the SOTU.
His Pupils were crazy large after one of those winding speeches.

Fabulous!

LMAO!
Did the dude list that Joey is still interested in little girls?
And he can recall new stories (that cast him as a hero) from 1950 daily.
Biden is barely alive now. Brain dead but his body, filled with baby blood and stem cells, keeps on pushing his vacant eyes around.
super ager?
Everything about Biden is fake, teeth, face, hair all fake
The new suits and 80’s sunglasses don’t fool me one iota, the man is very frail. The one thing Biden has going for him over Trump is his weight. Being thin will help him live longer.
I’ve now heard it all and I can’t stop laughing.
What a bunch of malarkey💩
WELL, THAT SETTLES IT..
Let me guess ... the SAME researchers who said the clot $hots were safe and effective.
No Sale.
