How young is
your health?

Eight areas that shape your healthspan

Each area is graded Good, Fair or Needs attention against public health guidelines, and takes the grade of its weakest key measure. So you always know what to work on first.

• Good
• Fair
• Needs attention

• Heart

  Cardio fitness, blood pressure, LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and heart rhythm, with resting heart rate and heart rate variability for information.

• Metabolic

  Long-term blood sugar (HbA1c), fasting blood sugar and waist-to-height, with triglycerides, HDL (“good”) cholesterol and kidney function.

• Movement

  Steps, exercise minutes, strength training, walking steadiness, one-leg balance and the 30-second chair stand.

• Sleep

  How long and how regularly you sleep, and breathing disturbances at night.

• Mind

  Mood and anxiety check-ins (9 and 7 questions) and your daily mood.

• Nutrition

  How Mediterranean your diet is (14 questions) and alcohol, with fiber and ultra-processed food from your food log.

• Hearing

  Hearing test results and everyday noise from your AirPods and Apple Watch.

• Prevention

  Smoking, and the screenings and vaccines due for your age and sex.

Graded against guidelines such as the American Heart Association's and the American College of Cardiology's for blood pressure and cholesterol, the American Diabetes Association's for blood sugar, the US Preventive Services Task Force's and the CDC's for screenings, and international guidance for hearing.

Your Vitaspan Age

One number that says how your measures compare with people your age, and what would move it.

1. From published studies

   Each measure is compared with what's typical for your age and sex, using the effect large studies found for it. Your Vitaspan Age is the age whose typical measures match yours.

2. Week by week

   It needs your year of birth and at least four measures, one of them about fitness. It's saved once a week, so it follows your habits, not one bad night.

3. Your biggest opportunities

   Up to three changes linked with the most years, from your own numbers: where you are now and what to aim for.

Vitaspan Age is an estimate, not a medical test. The studies observed people, so these are links, not promises: talk any change over with your doctor. Mind and Hearing are graded but don't count in the age. You can hide it at any time.

Check-ins and short tests

Your watch, ring and lab reports fill in most measures by themselves. For the rest, a few questions or a minute on your feet.
