If it were possible, would you like to know the date of your death?

This is just a "hypothesis (at least for now), but according to Jay Olshansky, a bio-statistician from the University of Illinois, along with computer scientist Karl Ricanek, from the University of North Carolina, wrinkles could help us to understand how much time we still have to live.
The duo has in fact created a facial recognition system that, thanks to elaborate algorithms, is able to determine the duration of a person's life by analyzing a simple photograph.

Nothing new, you will say, since premature skin aging is often the result of unhealthy lifestyle habits, such as a "wrong diet, smoking, alcohol," exaggerated exposure to sunlight (photo aging) and many other imbalances, from simple hormonal imbalances to (sometimes) more serious problems.

On the Face My Age site you can send your photo and (although still - unfortunately or fortunately - not to know your "future") find out how old they really are and, apparently, often the result can be as much as 10 years above their biological age.

The bio-statistician states: "The algorithms also consider the sex and ethnic group of the subject - he explains - in general white skin ages before black, and women more than men because they have a different distribution of subcutaneous fat and blood vessels".

And you? As much as this seems like yet another unfounded raving, if there was the possibility of finding out the date of your death, would you send your photo? Leave a comment below!
