Applicability of Profiles to
Certain Age Groups. The statistical algorithms used to
estimate health status are most relevant for individuals
from 30 to 75 years of age. Therefore, the Profiles may
not be as accurate for persons age 21-29. However, risk
factor analysis for these individuals can still be a
valuable tool for reducing the long-term risk of chronic
disease when utilized in consultation with a healthcare
professional. Profiles are not designed for individuals
less than 21 or greater than 75 years of age and therefore
health analysis is not available.
