What is my 'health age'?

Your 'health age' is a measure of how far certain lifestyle behaviours and medical factors are affecting your life expectancy. If your health age is older than your real age, you have worse than average health which is having a negative effect on your life expectancy. If your health age is the same as your real age you have average health and therefore average life expectancy, but you can still improve. And if your health age is younger than your real age you have better than average health which should have a positive effect on your life expectancy.

Many factors can affect your risk of ill health, but you can still make changes to improve your health and wellness. The Quick Health Age Check provides a general assessment of some potential health issues based on the limited information you provide. It should be used as a guide only, and if you require a detailed health assessment or diagnosis of any symptoms you should consult your doctor.
