I expect radical extension on my natural lifespan given that even currently:
“A second, larger study of men in their 70s found that those who avoided smoking, obesity, inactivity, diabetes and high blood pressure greatly improved their chances of living into their 90s. In fact, they had a 54 percent chance of living that long.”
and I have several decades of life expectancy continuing to improve just from mundane medical research.
Avoiding smoking, obesity, and inactivity helps, but then it is listed separately. Choice of diet can help, for sure—lowering sodium intake will generally lower blood pressure, for the typical western diet; I believe that vegetarianism can help as well. There are also blood pressure medications—I am not sure whether “otherwise as described but with pre-medication high blood pressure that is being successfully treated with medication” puts you in the demographic or not.

I would be shocked at no brain uploads by 2085.
How much can you choose to not have high blood pressure? How much is genetic? How much depends on our actions but not in a way we understand yet?
