What is the life expectancy of someone with Machado-Joseph Disease?
Life expectancy with Machado-Joseph Disease: what research and real patients say, recent advances, and a medically reviewed summary with sources.
Approximately 20 years from first onset of symptoms. Incidentally, no one dies from Machado Joseph Disease itself. Most of the people who have it die from falls or choking. Onset of the disease is often late 30's. Meaning most of us will die in our mid-late 50's.

The answer depends largely on the age of the onset of the symptoms and whether your male or female. Early onset (10 to 18 yrs old) ~8 years old. This onset is very aggressive. Young adult onset (20-30 yrs old) Female ~30 years, Male 6 to 10 years. Late Onset (50+ years) 20-25 years male or female. This is from studying the many cases in my family over 40 years.
