Answer ten quick questions about your everyday habits and get a transparent 0–100 healthspan-habits score — with a bar for every factor and your highest-impact next steps. It reflects habits linked with more healthy years, not a prediction of your lifespan.
Educational habits score only. It is NOT a lifespan prediction, biological-age measurement, or medical diagnosis — it summarizes everyday habits that public-health guidance links with more healthy, disease-free years. Talk to a qualified professional about your health.
What is a healthspan score?
It’s a 0–100 summary of the everyday habits — physical activity, diet, sleep, smoking, alcohol, stress, and social connection — that public-health guidance links with more healthy, disease-free years. On this tool, 80+ is excellent, 50–79 good, and under 50 needs attention. It reflects habits only, never a medical prediction.
This is an educational estimate, not medical advice. Consult a qualified professional. Based on CDC and World Health Organization (WHO) guidance — only a clinician can assess your real risk.

What is a healthspan score? (And what it isn’t)
Healthspan is the number of years lived in good health — free of major disease and disability — as opposed to lifespan, which is simply years lived. Nobody can compute your personal healthspan from a questionnaire, and this tool doesn’t try. What it does is simpler and honest: it scores the everyday, modifiable habits that public-health bodies consistently link with more healthy years.
Every point is visible. Each factor shows exactly how many points it contributed as a bar, so you can see why your score is what it is — no black box, no hidden weighting, no predictions.
How the score is calculated
The score is a transparent points model over nine habit factors, anchored to public guidance on modifiable risk: physical activity (20 points, full credit at the WHO’s 150 minutes of moderate activity a week), fruit & vegetables (12 points, full credit at 5 servings — roughly the WHO’s 400 g a day), ultra-processed food (8), smoking (15), alcohol (10, using the Dietary Guidelines’ moderation thresholds by sex), sleep (15, full credit for 7–9 hours), self-rated stress (6), social connection (4), and — optionally — waist-to-height ratio (10, full credit under 0.5).
The weights sum to exactly 100, so with every factor answered the visible points literally add up to your score. If you skip the optional waist-to-height factor the score is rescaled from 90, so skipping never counts against you. Age and sex are context only: sex sets the alcohol guideline, and age doesn’t change the score at all — good habits count at every age.
How to read your result
Three bands, always shown as color plus text:
- 80–100 · Excellent — your habits strongly match healthy-aging guidance; protect them.
- 50–79 · Good — a solid base with clear room to gain points; check your top next steps.
- 0–49 · Needs attention — the good news: these are the habits with the biggest, best-evidenced payoff for change.
A worked example
Sam, 42: 60 minutes of activity a week (8/20), 3 servings of fruit & veg (7/12), ultra-processed food some days (4/8), never smoked (15/15), 5 drinks a week (8/10), 6.5 hours of sleep (9/15), high stress (0/6), some social connection (2/4), waist-to-height 0.54 (5/10). Total: 58/100 — Good.
Sam’s top next steps, straight from the biggest point gaps: physical activity (+12 available), stress (+6), and sleep (+6). That’s the point of the tool — not the number, but knowing which two or three habits pay off most.
Frequently asked questions
Does this predict how long I will live?
No — and it doesn’t try to. It scores everyday habits that public-health guidance associates with more healthy years. Lifespan depends on many things a questionnaire cannot know (genetics, medical history, environment, luck).
Why doesn’t my age change the score?
Because the score reflects habits, not biology — and the evidence says improving these habits pays off at every age. Age is collected only as context; sex is used solely to apply the correct alcohol guideline.
What counts as a "standard drink" and a "serving" of fruit or veg?
A standard drink is roughly 350 ml of beer, 150 ml of wine, or 45 ml of spirits. A serving of fruit or vegetables is about 80 g — a piece of fruit, half a cup of cooked vegetables, or a cup of salad.
Is skipping the waist-to-height question a disadvantage?
No. The score is rescaled to 0–100 without that factor, so skipping it never lowers your result. If you can measure, though, it adds a useful body-shape signal — a waist under half your height is the common healthy guide.
Where do the point values come from?
Each factor is anchored to public guidance: the WHO physical-activity and healthy-diet fact sheets, CDC activity and sleep guidance, and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans for alcohol. The weights themselves are editorial simplifications so the score stays transparent — they are documented on this page, not hidden.
