- The health-hazard appraisal is based on statistical tables collected and developed over
- the last couple of decades. Doctors use them for the "You should do ______ and
- that would add _____ years to your life expectency." statements. Is there
- a "swag" table for these calculations? A Reader's Digest/Woman's Day
- layman-type few-page table that I could get?

- Thanks.
