Score Range	Health Status	Recommendations
80-100	Excellent	Maintain your healthy lifestyle
60-79	Good	Continue with your current health habits
40-59	Fair	Consider making some lifestyle improvements
20-39	Poor	Consult with a healthcare professional
0-19	Critical	Seek immediate medical attention

Remember that this score provides a general assessment and should not replace professional medical advice.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a Global Health Score for a 45-year-old female who is 165 cm tall, weighs 60 kg, has a blood pressure of 120/80 mmHg, cholesterol level of 180 mg/dL, is moderately active, and does not smoke.

Example Calculation

BMI: 60 ÷ (1.65 × 1.65) = 22.04 → Score: 85 (Excellent)

Blood Pressure: 120/80 → Score: 90 (Excellent)

Cholesterol: 180 mg/dL → Score: 75 (Good)

Age: 45 → Score: 80 (Good)

Activity: Moderate → Score: 85 (Good)

Global Health Score: (85 × 0.3) + (90 × 0.25) + (75 × 0.2) + (80 × 0.15) + (85 × 0.1) = 84.55

This example shows a score of 84.55, indicating excellent overall health status.
