To find out how healthy you are, we’ve developed a new health assessment tool called My Life Check. It will give you an overall health score and create an action plan to move you closer to your individual health goals. No matter what you score, any healthy change can help you live a longer, better life.
To take My Life Check, you should know following risk factors and behaviors about yourself:
Cardiovascular health factors:
1. Total Cholesterol
2. Blood Pressure
3. Blood Glucose/Sugar Levels
Cardiovascular health behaviors:
4. Smoking Status
5. Current Weight
6. Current Level of Physical Activity
7. Current Eating Habits
Make a difference one heart at a time….once you get your heart score, send this page to 7 people you care about with a challenge to find out their heart score!
