This isn\u2019t a Homeric epic. There are no oracles laying out our destiny and predicting our inevitable demise. But even if we can\u2019t know the precise date of our\xa0death, we can use certain biomarkers, measurements, and characteristics to make\xa0predictions\u2014with a reasonable amount of accuracy\u2014about a person\u2019s propensity to kick the bucket.
