The comprehensive health risk assessment was developed by Sharecare and has been clinically validated to be more predictive of mortality than the Framingham Heart Study and chronological age, according to the release. After completing the assessment, RealAge provides an immediate estimate of the body's age and offers helpful tools on how to implement positive changes that benefit both the individual, and community, Blue Zones said in a news release.
The test offers more than 100 questions based on well-being factors such as nutrition, physical activity, sleep, existing medical conditions and stress that can contribute to a person's longevity. "It's great knowing the data collected will help us plan events and projects to make our city a healthier place to live." "These numbers will be used to help the Blue Zones Project-Bakersfield team track the health and well-being in our community over the next five years," Tomono said. Not only will the free test give those who take it valuable insights into their own personal health, it's also designed to have a positive influence on the entire community. The RealAge test, he said, is a critical tool in undertaking that mission. Tomono was front and center on the steps of City Hall in downtown Bakersfield in September when he and other community leaders announced the launch of Blue Zones Project-Bakersfield, describing it as a "new pathway toward well-being for all Kern County."
"My calendar age is 42 but my RealAge is 34," Blue Zones Project-Bakersfield executive director Kiyoshi Tomono said in an email. Taken by more than 45 million people to date, the scientifically based survey claims to show you the true age of the body you're living in compared to your biological age - the first step, organizers say, toward improving overall health and well-being.
