There's 14 factors we can control 

They can be split into Lifestyle, Environment, Physical & Mental health

Habits we can change, health conditions we can avoid.

Let's start...

Sex assigned at birth
What age did you stop formal education?
How would you describe where you've lived for the majority of your life

Different jobs require different skills and use different mental capacities. We want to understand how often your job requires you to really engage your mind; Think critically, problem solve, be creative, analytical or 'switched on'

How would you describe your job?

Lifestyle habits

Do you currently smoke?
How many days a week do you drink alcohol?
Unit calculator
How many units of alcohol would you have in an average week?
How many hours sleep do you get on average per night?
Do you ever suffer from any of the following during the night? Required

The senses

Do you experience hearing difficulties in daily life?
When did your hearing difficulties start?
Do you have vision problems ( regardless of if you correct or treat them to carry out everyday life)
Do you actively correct your vision issues?

Physiology

Have you been told by a doctor that your LDL cholesterol (the “bad” cholesterol) is high?
Has a healthcare provider told you that you have high blood pressure?
Do you have Diabetes?
What age did you develop it?
Which of the following do you think best describes your current weight?

We ask both as BMI isn't always an accurate assessment of 'health' especially in those who have higher volumes of muscle.

Exercise

By exercise we mean any activity that raises your heart rate, not just traditional sports and fitness. Take a look at the definitions below.

Take your heart rate

  1. Light exercise (walking at a relaxed pace)

  2. Moderate exercise (brisk walking, gardening, reaching 50-70% of your maximum heart rate)

  3. Vigorous exercise (running, aerobics, reaching 70-85% of your maximum heart rate)

Final section!

How often do you meet with friends or family?
How often do you do group activities?
Which best describes your living situation
How often do you feel lonely?
In the past 5 years, have you experienced depression or frequent feelings of sadness that last for weeks or months?

In this context, stress means feeling persistently anxious, irritable, or overwhelmed due to work, relationships, or personal struggles. You might notice physical signs like headaches, muscle tension, difficulty sleeping, or an upset stomach, and emotional signs like feeling restless, worried, or easily frustrated.

How often do you feel stressed?

Hobbies

How often do you read books, articles, or other written materials?
How often do you engage in activities that require learning new skills (e.g., learning a language, taking a class, or trying a new hobby)?
How often do you solve puzzles, play strategy games, or do activities that involve problem-solving (e.g., crosswords, Sudoku, chess)?
Do you frequently challenge yourself by doing tasks outside your comfort zone (e.g., learning something new, taking on different responsibilities)?
How often do you engage in creative activities (e.g., painting, writing, music, crafting)?
How often do you participate in social activities that involve discussion or debate (e.g., group discussions, book clubs, or debate groups)?
