Healtheliving Assessment

The healtheliving assessment is the first step to making healthy changes. This health risk assessment asks you about your health history and habits. For example, there are questions about your diet, exercise, smoking, past health, and family medical history. After you submit your answers, you receive personalized reports. The reports include your health age, current health status, and suggestions for making healthy changes. You can recalculate your health age based on making healthy changes. If you like, you can print and save your reports to share with your health care team.

Learn more about your Health Age

Health Age is an estimate of your overall health. This may include things like family history, diet, exercise, weight, and smoking. This information is used to estimate how healthy you are compared to the typical person your age. If you are 50 years old and have a health age of 45, you are living a healthier lifestyle than most people your age. If you are a 50-year-old with a health age of 55, there are some things about your lifestyle that you might want to change to get healthier.
