Also, you need to add a category for those under 10 years old (yes, there are some). I guess that they would need to be under parental supervision, but the category needs to be there. Presumably, the 100s category is age 100 and up. Interestingly, seven people seem to have checked that category!
It's just a poll, what would it matter? You posted, would it be too hard to write both, in your post if you think it matters. Maybe the Pollster will even read is sometime, or not. Jim
Since the poll was started 8 years ago, that would matter, also.

I would assume that since there are 0 persons in their 90's, that there are still 7 persons in their hundreds. Is anyone over 110?
Seriously, I would like to hear from some of the 7 persons.
What is your secret to longevity?
How long on cpap?
Do you still use it every night?
Are any of you in nursing homes? (I've been to many homes but never see a sleep machine)
(and many more questions)
Come on, speak up!

In nursing homes, there are reasons to HIDE anything worth stealing.
Hearing aids and cpaps--even glasses and dentures.
Residents can be either paranoid or have impulse control issues.
It is better to hide your stuff.

Preplanned funeral; told owner to put humidifier on my urn; fast. Wouldn't feel right without it.

As others have pointed out, this question is unlikely to produce useful data. I may have developed OSA at 30, not gotten a diagnosis until I was 50, resisted a CPAP until I was 60, and am today 70.

The poll is also 9 years old. Maybe other categories should be "other" and "all of the above."

I have an idea--actually, Goofproof probably suggested it already--repeatedly.
Any poll over 2 years old needs to be locked as the data collected
becomes less useful as new results are mixed with old.

At the very least we should let dead people vote in polls, like in our Elections... Jim
