5-Minute Health Index

Eighteen questions about how you live right now. In return — your index under Life's Essential 8, the American Heart Association's framework: the 8 key factors that shape heart health and how many years a person lives free of disease.

Your answers stay in your browser. We send nothing until you ask us to.

This questionnaire is not a clinical diagnosis. It is a first intake of information that lets you and our medical team see the overall state of your physical and emotional wellbeing. The decision is the doctor's.

If you have chronic conditions or symptoms that worry you, be sure to consult a doctor: with an established diagnosis your figures may differ from those shown. Our specialists are ready to give you a more detailed assessment and suggest individual options for improving it.

Refine your diet score

Right now your diet is scored approximately, from five markers. Sixteen short questions replace that with the assessment the American Heart Association recommends for an individual.

This is not a diagnosis. Life's Essential 8 describes your state of health and way of living, not the presence of disease, and does not replace examination. People scoring 80 and above live, on average, about 8 more years from age 50 than people scoring below 50 — but that is group statistics, not a forecast for any one person (source: NHANES, over 23,000 adults). What your numbers mean is for a doctor to say.

We changed the last question from the original screener to make the result more accurate.

Question {n} of 17 Body mass index: {v} That comes to {n} min a week. The WHO recommends at least 150. Zero is an answer too. The WHO recommends at least 150 minutes a week. High Moderate Low Preliminary result: {n} of 8 measures. Not measured: {l}. This is exactly the half of the picture you cannot see from home.

For lowering cardiovascular risk, total cholesterol below 5.0 mmol/L is the target, but it is the whole lipid profile that matters, not that one number. Get a lipid panel and talk it through with a doctor. total cholesterol only, {v} mmol/L Your answers do not point to low mood. It looks like the last two weeks have been hard. That happens far more often than it seems, and it is a state that responds well to help. Don't put off talking to a specialist: our programme includes sessions with a psychotherapist, and they noticeably improve both how you feel and your quality of life. Two questions from the PHQ-2 scale. This is not a diagnosis and is not part of the index. Go through your everyday diet with a dietitian — start with vegetables and whole grains, that is the cheapest step. Add two or three 30-minute walks at a pace where singing is hard. Target: 150 minutes a week. Discuss a quit plan with your doctor. Five years smoke-free brings your health score back to almost where it started. Sleep of 7–9 hours is the one measure that shifts noticeably within a week. Start with a fixed wake-up time. Weight follows food and sleep rather than moving on its own. It needs body composition, not just the number on the scale. Get a lipid panel and show it to a doctor — non-HDL cholesterol matters more than total. Get your glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) tested. Prediabetes is already a metabolic disturbance, but it can be reversed by changing food and daily habits — and lifelong medication avoided. Measure your blood pressure morning and evening for seven days and bring the record to a doctor. of Ukrainians are overweight — you are not among them of Ukrainians have a body mass index of 25 or higher — you are among them of Ukrainians eat fewer than 5 servings of vegetables and fruit a day — you are in the other 34% of Ukrainians eat fewer than 5 servings of vegetables and fruit a day — you are among them of adults in Ukraine smoke — you are not among them of adults in Ukraine smoke — you are among them of adults in Ukraine have raised blood pressure, and most of them do not know it 5-Minute Health Index Life's Essential 8 index: {n} out of 100, {l}.
