Discover Your Health Age

Answer the questions below to compare your current chronological age with your health age which is determined according to various lifestyle habits.

More than ever before, scientific research is revealing the fact that premature aging and disease are largely the result of our lifestyle. Poor eating habits, using harmful substances, and not getting enough sleep or exercise can make us old before our time. 

 

Several large research studies, including the Alameda County Study (1) and the Adventist Health Studies (2) continue to reveal a clear relationship between the health habits listed below and one’s risk of death. Individuals practicing all of these healthy habits may influence their longevity by nearly 30 years.

Discover Your Risk of Developing a Lifestyle-Related Disease​

​​

​​This will evaluate your risk of developing a lifestyle-related disease by comparing your personal health practices with scientific data.

This assessment is based on a recent study (1) where the health practices of 200,000 people were recorded. When the participants were surveyed ten years later, the research revealed a clear relationship between five key health practices and one’s risk for developing type 2 diabetes. Individuals who managed to make improvements in all five risk areas were able to reduce their risk by about 80%, according to the study.

​

​More than ever before, scientific research (2) is uncovering the fact that heart disease, cancer, and diabetes are largely the result of the way we live. By addressing common lifestyle factors such as obesity and alcohol consumption, a person’s odds of developing these diseases may decrease for each positive lifestyle change they make.
