Health Risk Score Calculator

How the Health Risk Score Works

The health risk score is a comprehensive assessment that evaluates multiple factors that contribute to your overall health. The calculator uses a weighted scoring system that considers:

• Lifestyle factors (diet, exercise, smoking, alcohol consumption)
• Medical history (family history, chronic conditions)
• Vital statistics (BMI, blood pressure, cholesterol levels)
• Behavioral factors (sleep patterns, stress levels)

The score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater health risks. The calculator provides a personalized assessment based on your specific inputs.
