Abstract:
A health potential study and summary makes use of a multiple-page, relatively comprehensive, questionnaire for the individual, an analysis of answers to the questionnaire in readable summary form and an abbreviated life-style resume of the analysis coupled with a visually graphic portrayal of health potential on a graduated scale. The questionnaire is divided into different categories of health affecting subjects arranged so that answers in the form of yes, no, unanswered, or degree rated against a specified rate scale, are placed in a score box adjacent the question. The questionnaire includes an actual food intake diary for a specified period of days and an exercise report. The analysis and appropriate comments are presented in printed form for the respective categories in a manner comparing ideal conditions against actual conditions of the individual where prevailing conditions are picked from the score boxes and commentary and recommendations selected from a data bank according to score. The resume is a printed, color accented, numerically comparative box score showing how the health rating of the subject in the respective categories compares with rating levels portrayed respectively at levels identified as recommended, elevated or risk, and accompanied by a final health incentive feature wherein the actual age of the subject is compared with his age as appraised by the summary and a relative age achievable by compliance with the recommendations.
