Health self-assessment

General Health ? The BRFSS survey asks: "Would you say that in general your health is…?" Choose the number that best describes your overall health today. 1 = best health, 5 = worst health

Mental Health - bad days ? The BRFSS question: "During the past 30 days, for how many days did poor mental or emotional health (stress, depression, anxiety) affect your daily activities?" Enter a number from 0 to 30. How many days in the last 30 did your mental health feel poor?

Physical Health - bad days ? The BRFSS question: "During the past 30 days, for how many days did poor physical health (physical illness or injury) affect your daily activities?" Enter a number from 0 to 30. How many days in the last 30 did your physical health feel poor?

Demographics & body metrics

Sex ? Biological sex as recorded in the BRFSS survey. This affects metabolic risk thresholds used by the model.

Age category ? The BRFSS groups ages into 13 five-year bands (see the options). Choose the band that contains your age. The model was trained on this categorical scale, not exact ages. Select the 5-year band that contains your age

BMI (Body Mass Index) ? BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height² (m²). You can calculate it at cdc.gov/bmi. Enter a number between 10 and 70.

Under 18.5 = Underweight 18.5 - 24.9 = Normal 25 - 29.9 = Overweight 30+ = Obese
