1. What is the Health Score?

The Health Score is a composite measure that combines several health metrics into a single value to assess overall health status. It provides a quick snapshot of your health based on key indicators.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses a weighted formula:

Where:

• \( HealthMetrics \) — Array of normalized health metrics (0-1 scale)
• \( Weights \) — Importance weights for each metric

Explanation: Each health metric is normalized to a 0-1 scale, then multiplied by its weight and summed to produce a final score (0-100 scale).

3. Importance of Health Scoring

Details: A composite health score helps track overall health status over time and can identify areas needing improvement.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter accurate values for all health metrics. The calculator normalizes each metric before calculating the weighted sum.
