Welcome to the Oklahoma State Health Department Health Risk Appraisal!

The health risk appraisal is an educational tool, showing you choices you can make to keep good health and avoid the most common causes of death (for a person of your age and sex). This health risk appraisal is not a substitute for a check-up or physical exam that you get from a doctor or nurse; however, it does provide some ideas for lowering your risk of getting sick or injured in the future. It is NOT designed for people who already have HEART DISEASE, CANCER, KIDNEY DISEASE, OR OTHER SERIOUS CONDITIONS; if you have any of these problems, please ask your health care provider to interpret the report for you.

DIRECTIONS
To get the most accurate results, answer as many questions as you can. If you do not know the answer leave it blank. Questions with an asterisk are not used by the computer to calculate your risks; however, answering these star questions may help you plan a more healthy lifestyle and will be of assistance in program planning.
