Quiz Results
The long-term benefits of a high Health IQ
By analyzing our proprietary data from the Health IQ Quiz, we have observed the following correlations between Health IQ and health outcomes.
Please note: correlation does not imply causation and all results have been controlled for confounding variables like age and gender.
Longevity
High Health IQ correlates to 36% lower mortality risk
A well-rounded foundation of health knowledge correlates to a significant reduction in mortality risk even after controlling for covariates like age and gender. (p value = 2.5x10-24)
