Key Health Components

The Bill of Health considers several key components that contribute to your overall well-being:

Physical Activity

Regular physical activity is essential for maintaining good health. The calculator considers both the frequency and intensity of your exercise routine.

Mental Well-being

Mental health is just as important as physical health. This component evaluates your stress levels, happiness, and overall mental state.

Sleep Quality

Quality sleep is crucial for physical recovery and mental function. The calculator considers both the duration and quality of your sleep.

Diet Quality

A balanced diet is fundamental to good health. This component evaluates the variety and nutritional balance of your diet.

Example Calculation

Let's look at an example to see how the calculator works. Consider a 35-year-old female with the following ratings:

• Physical Activity: 4 (out of 5)
• Mental Well-being: 3 (out of 5)
• Sleep Quality: 4 (out of 5)
• Diet Quality: 3 (out of 5)

Using the formula:

Assuming the age/gender adjustment is 0.8 (based on population norms), the calculation would be:

This would result in a health score of approximately 32.3 out of 100, with recommendations to focus on improving mental well-being and diet quality.
