What is Wellbeing Age®?

Understanding your wellbeing age®

Your Wellbeing Age is a snapshot of your overall wellbeing at that exact time of testing. If any of your readings are outside the ideal ranges, our algorithm will calculate the increased inflammatory risk to your longevity and subsequently add years to your Wellbeing Age.

The following parameters can be used when assessing your Wellbeing Age

:

  • Less than 5 years - You're doing well, keep up the good work.
  • 5- 10 years - There is room for improvement.
  • Over 10 years - Changes to your lifestyle will help your wellbeing. 

Please note: the Interactive Health Kiosk only provides a Wellbeing Age for those between 18-65 years old. The best age you can get is your actual age.

Wellbeing Age FAQs

Why is my Wellbeing Age® score so high when I do lots of exercise and eat a healthy diet?

There are many other factors that can cause chronic inflammation in the body which will increase certain readings. Chronic stress, not enough sleep, illness, emotional trauma and even exercising too much without adequate recovery can all negatively influence your readings (health metrics).

Can my score change at different times of the day? 

Yes, the Interactive Health Kiosk captures a snapshot of your overall wellbeing at that exact time. Certain readings will naturally fluctuate throughout the day and after certain activities. For the most accurate result we recommend sitting and practising deep diaphragmatic breathing for 1-2 minutes before you take your readings.

Can my Wellbeing Age® score be lower than my actual (chronological) age?

No, on the Interactive Health Kiosk the best score you can get is your actual age. The Interactive Health Kiosk will only provide a Wellbeing Age® score for those aged between 18-65 years. 

What factors can negatively affect my Wellbeing Age® ?

Caffeine consumption, rushing before measuring your health metrics, chronic stress or illness and medications can negatively impact your Wellbeing Age®.

Why is my biological age higher than my chronological (actual) age?

If you fall outside of the ideal ranges for any of the above health metrics, this will add additional years onto your result. Smoking, whether current or in the past will also have an adverse effect on your biological age.

What is the meaning of biological age and chronological age?

Your chronological age and biological age might not be the same. Chronological age is the number of years you’ve been alive, whilst biological age refers to how old your cells and tissues are functioning based on physiological evidence. Wellbeing Age® is a snapshot assessment of your biological age without doing invasive or blood tests.
