Depending on the level of injury, a typical c5/6 quadriplegic with no pressure sores, will die 10 years earlier than a uninjured person.

The life expectancy of quadriplegics can vary depending on the individual's overall health, level of disability, and access to medical care. On average, individuals with severe quadriplegia may have a reduced life expectancy compared to the general population due to complications such as respiratory issues, infections, and pressure ulcers. However, advancements in medical care and assistive technology have improved life expectancies for quadriplegics in recent years.
