Blue Zones Project Invites You to a Well-Being Assessment

YUBA-SUTTER REGION, CA (MPG) - Are you as young (or as old) as you feel? Blue Zones Project Yuba Sutter invites community members 18+ years old in the Yuba Sutter region to find out their “Real Age” by taking the RealAge® Test. The test is free, open to the public, and available at BZPYubaSutter.sharecare.com. 

Taken by more than 45 million people to date, the scientifically based survey shows you the true age of the body you’re living in compared to your biological age - the first step toward improving overall health and well-being. To get started, RealAge® test offers 76 questions based on well-being factors such as nutrition, physical activity, sleep, existing medical conditions, and stress that can contribute to a person’s longevity.  After completing the assessment, RealAge provides an immediate estimate of the body’s age and recommends helpful tools on how to implement positive changes that benefit both the individual, and community. 

“My calendar age is 53 but my RealAge® is 47,” says Blue Zones Project Yuba Sutter executive director Steve Kroeger “Join us to discover your RealAge® and play a part in our community’s journey to better health! The test is free and will give you practical insights for your own personal health, as well as having a positive influence on the entire community. These numbers will be used to help the Blue Zones Project Yuba Sutter team track the health and well-being in our community over the next few years. It’s great knowing the data collected will help us plan events and projects to make our community a healthier place to live and flourish.”

Data collected from the survey is confidential and HIPAA compliant. Individual level data stays private to the individual who completes the assessment. Only aggregate community data will be collected by the Blue Zones Project team. This information will be used to determine a baseline assessment for Yuba Sutter that will influence future well-being programming for the community at-large. 

This survey will be implemented regularly throughout the lifespan of the Blue Zones Project in Yuba Sutter and help shape the understandings of the community’s collective well-being for years to come.
