Discover your RealAge® and improve your well-being with SWFL's Blue Zones project. This community wellness initiative invites area residents, workplaces, and organizations to participate in assessing community wellness.
The RealAge® test is a valuable self-assessment tool that allows us to estimate our individual well-being and receive useful advice to improve and optimize our health. More than 45 million people have already taken this science and evidence-based survey, which reveals the true age of our body compared to its biological age. This is the first step to improving our overall health and well-being.
The test consists of more than 100 questions based on wellness factors such as nutrition, physical activity, sleep, existing medical conditions and stress. Once we complete the assessment, we will get an immediate estimate of our body's age and receive helpful tips and tools to implement positive changes that benefit us. Best of all, the trial is free and available to all community members over the age of 18. You can access it on the Blue Zones Project website.
It is important to mention that the data collected from the survey is confidential and HIPAA compliant. Individual-level data remains private and is only used in aggregate to assess collective well-being in workplaces or organizations with more than 25 employees and/or clientele.
The Blue Zones Project team will use aggregated community data to determine a baseline assessment for Southwest Florida. This information will influence future wellness programming for the broader community and the project initiative. Additionally, results will be compared to Sharecare's Community Well-Being Index® to understand how Southwest Florida's well-being stacks up against other communities nationally.
The RealAge® test can be performed as often as we wish, allowing us to evaluate our individual metrics throughout the year. This survey will be implemented regularly throughout the life of the Blue Zones Project of Southwest Florida, helping us to have a more complete understanding of the collective well-being of our community for years to come.
