KL, I would say that test is biased on the high side. I don't have my final score yet, but all through it, my running score was higher than my true age, and I am in perfect health with good habits and not a lot of stress. And it classified menopause as a disease. How stupid is that! I am pretty sure if a woman gets old enough, there is no avoiding it.

To the other readers here, it is a very long test, and I would probably not recommend wasting your time on it. I for sure wouldn't give them my real or main e-mail address. Dang! Wish I'd thought ahead of time to get one of those disposable Yahoo addresses. I just gave them one I am not using much.

They made me 8 years younger. I did this test last year and signed up for weekly health tips. I like their tips. They are current, short, and have links to more information. The test is long and really just a starting point. Some of the questions are hard to answer accurately, so the results are not much more than a guess. Having said that....any test that makes me younger puts a smile on my face. :-)

They made me 1.7 years older which isn't bad considering.

Dang, Tess, that is good!

Oh, wait! I forgot the dead young parents for me. That always whacks out my life expectancy predictions on these sorts of tests.

Very funny, I started taking this test and realized that all my answers were filled in, and I got scared LOL wondering how the test knew my answers. (ROFLMAO) then I realized that I had taken this test 2 years ago. Whew boy, am I dumb or what - must be taking too many pills

I think the test is a bit screwy; it's a bit odd in the nutrition area. I filled out the amounts I take in the 5 or 6 fields but it would not take my folic acid number, I take 5mg a day, way over the 400mcg rec for a day. I don't know why the results are trying to push more potassium on me, and what's with saying I eat too much salt? I don't use salt and watch for sodium in all my foods.

What's with the high blood pressure stuff? Nothing wrong with mine and I put down average. My dr's always commented that it's better than just fine.

It calculated my BMI at 28 and said I should go on a diet LOL. Then it said I was exercising too much and to cut back LOL. It said something about sticking to under 3500 calories a day; I try to stick to under 2300 LOL. I already know that - I have put on at least 25lbs from exercising but it's all muscle. And I do exercise too much.

I have no idea how the test figured out the types of fats I eat by asking about such general questions of how many servings per week for each.
I don't know what it's pushing or selling but I am not buying it.
The improvements I have introduced into my life resulted in a 4.2 increase of my real age.
I don't think so.
