WALLA WALLA, Wash.-Residents of Walla Walla and College Place are invited to complete a community well-being assessment.
The RealAge® Test is free to take, takes about 10-15 minutes to complete and asks you about your eating, exercise, and sleep habits, along with family health history, behaviors and existing conditions, according to a Project Blue Zone press release on the assessment.
After completing the test, residents will get a result that estimates their body’s age based on more than 100 well-being factors.
“I am so excited to collect real time health indicators and see where we are after three years,” said Meghan DeBolt, Executive Director, Blue Zones Project – Walla Walla Valley.
The RealAge® Test can be taken online and paper copies of the test will be mailed out to Walla Walla Valley residents beginning in early January.
According to Blue Zones, survey results will be used to determine how well health needs in the valley have been addressed over the past three years since the last survey.
The health survey, to determine the “real age” of residents based on health factors is sponsored by Blue Zones Project–Walla Walla Valley, the digital health company Sharecare and the Boston University School of Public Health.
Blue Zones Project is a community-by-community well-being improvement initiative designed to enable community members to live longer, happier lives with lower rates of chronic diseases and a higher quality of life, according to a press release on the health survey.
