Mortality Risks of the most common causes of death:

How to lower your risks:

Depression Risk

Your answers show no sign of depression. This is a good sign for your overall mental health.

Anxiety Risk

Your answers show no signs of anxiety. This is a good sign for your overall mental health.

Body Weight Risk

Your BMI is 30.0, indicating your weight is in the obese category for adults of your height.

For your height, a normal weight range would be from 121 to 163 pounds.

People who are overweight or obese are at higher risk for chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol.

Cardiorespiratory Fitness Risk

High Risk: You have a higher than average mortality risk based upon your cardiorespiratory fitness. You may be able to improve by exercising more often at a level that increases your heart rate. Talk to your doctor about an exercise program that is right for you. For many people a good way to start exercising is to go for a walk. You can make exercise more fun by bringing a friend or a pet.

Cough and Hand Hygiene:

• You are at higher risk of contracting or spreading COVID-19 and other common diseases if you do not wash your hands often enough. Washing your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds is the most effective way to prevent you and loved ones from becoming infected. Hand sanitizers are a good second choice to hand washing. In addition, do not touch your face, eyes, nose, or mouth. Cough into your elbow or a tissue, then wash your hands. When washing hands in a public place, use a paper towel as barrier to turn off water (and if possible to open the door) then discard the paper towel.

• If you have symptoms of shortness of breath or chest pain or other serious symptoms, you should seek medical care. Please contact your doctor or emergency room before coming in, if you can. Visit the CDC page for more information: What To Do If You Are Sick
• Whenever possible, especially in public settings, stand or sit more than 6 feet away from people who are sick and at least 3 feet from everyone else. Substitute non-contact greetings for handshakes. Older adults and those with chronic health conditions should be vigilant and stay away from people as much as possible.
