Frequently Asked Questions
What does this health risk quiz actually measure?
It scores ten established risk factors across fourteen questions — age, BMI, smoking, physical activity, alcohol, diet, sleep, family history, known blood pressure/cholesterol/blood sugar readings and how recently you were screened — and places the total in a lower, moderate or higher risk band.
Is this a medical risk score like QRISK or Framingham?
No. Those are validated clinical tools that require measured values such as an actual blood pressure reading and cholesterol panel. This quiz is an educational prompt built from self-reported answers. It is designed to tell you which factors are worth acting on and whether a screening test is overdue — not to predict your personal probability of disease.
Why does it ask about my family background?
Only to pick the right BMI thresholds. Health risk arrives at a lower BMI in some populations, so Singapore's Health Promotion Board uses 23.0 and 27.5 as its action points, and NICE recommends those same two thresholds in the UK for people of South Asian, Chinese, other Asian, Middle Eastern, Black African or African-Caribbean family background. Everyone else is scored against 25.0 and 30.0. Nothing else in the quiz uses your answer, and it is never sent anywhere.
Why does it ask which country I get my healthcare in?
Because the screening programmes differ. Cervical screening runs from 25 to 69 in Singapore and 25 to 64 in the UK; bowel screening starts at 50 in both, yearly under Screen for Life and every 2 years on the NHS; and the recommended drinking limit is 2 standard drinks a day for men and 1 for women in Singapore, against 14 units a week for everyone in the UK. Your answer decides which of those your result quotes.
What should I do with a higher risk result?
A higher risk band means several established risk factors showed up together. It isn't a diagnosis. Book a health screening so the things this quiz can only ask about — your blood pressure, cholesterol and blood glucose — are actually measured, and go through the flagged factors with a healthcare professional.
Are my answers stored or sent anywhere?
No. The quiz runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you enter is submitted, saved or shared, and there is no sign-up.
