Health Risk Assessment Calculator
This health risk assessment calculator evaluates your risk for common health conditions based on your lifestyle, medical history, and other factors. It provides a personalized risk profile and recommendations for improving your health.
How the Health Risk Assessment Calculator Works
This calculator evaluates your health risks based on multiple factors:
Body Mass Index (BMI)
BMI Categories:
- Underweight: BMI less than 18.5
- Normal weight: BMI 18.5 to 24.9
- Overweight: BMI 25 to 29.9
- Obesity: BMI 30 or greater
Waist Circumference Risk
Increased health risk is associated with waist circumference:
- Men: High risk if greater than 102 cm (40 inches)
- Women: High risk if greater than 88 cm (35 inches)
Risk Assessment Methodology
The calculator evaluates risk for common health conditions based on:
- Demographic factors (age, gender)
- Anthropometric measurements (BMI, waist circumference)
- Lifestyle factors (smoking, alcohol, exercise, diet, sleep, stress)
- Personal medical history
- Family history
Each factor is weighted based on scientific research to calculate risk scores for various health conditions. The overall risk is determined by combining these individual risk scores.
This calculator provides estimates based on population studies and general risk factors. Individual health risks can vary based on factors not captured in this assessment. Always consult with healthcare professionals for personalized medical advice.
