HEALTHWARE FOR ATARI PROGRAM N°. 0991 0004 EAUH ASSESSMENT How are your current health practices affecting your life expectancy? Answer the crucial questions for building a healthy life- style. Can you and your family add to your life expectancies with new health habits? 0 05003 6 HEALTH ASSESSMENT / DATABAR SOFTWARE HEALTH ASSESSMENT™ / DATABAR SOFTWARE HEALT H WARE HEALTH ASSESSMENT LIVING LONGER How we live almost always deter- mines how long we live. A mountain of statistics bears that out. According to the statisticians, the average length of life today is 73 years. Compare this to only 47 years, the average at the turn of this century. We've added 26 years to the average since 1900 by arresting many infec- tious or acute diseases like polio, smallpox and tetanus, and by other means. Will we add another 26 years to the average by 2060? Researchers think not. Even though there are chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease that may be less and less prevalent in the future, the impact of this on the average length of life for all of us prob- ably will not be dramatic. Why? Because the nature of the human body is such that our cells will only regen- erate so many times, and we are approaching the maximum fixed aver- age length of life now. So how do we alter our own course to insure we get the maximum length of life our bodies will give us? The obvi- ous answer is to alter the way we live. Consider this: One recent study indi- cates that 78 percent of the nation's hospital patients could have stayed home if they'd followed better health practices. Another study, this one in Massachusetts, indicates that 43 per- cent of us eat too much, 33 percent still smoke, 28 percent don't exercise at all, and 12 percent misuse alcohol. With this Health Assessment ™ you can evaluate your own health behavior and how it affects your potential for long life. Health Assessment ™ is based on a 1973 study by Nedra Belloc and her colleagues at the Human Population Laboratory of the California State Department of Public Health. Belloc and colleagues identified seven health habits that influence our chances of liv- ing a long, healthy life. They included: sleeping seven to eight hours a night; eating a full breakfast each day; limit- ing between-meal eating; maintaining ideal weight; scheduling regular exer- cise periods each week; limiting alco- hol consumption to two drinks a day; and not smoking.

Once you've run the program, run the questions again and change one of your health habits to see how this affects your life span. Here are the habits that may have the greatest impact on your results. Smoking : In our quiz, answer yes to the question, “Do you smoke?" if you smoke one or more cigarettes a day. Exercise : In our quiz, we consider “regular exercise" to be activities you engage in several times a week. Sleeping : In the Belloc study, men who slept eight hours a night did bet- ter than those sleeping less. Women who slept seven hours a night did best, but sleeping a little less wasn’t as bad for women as for men. Program Instructions ■ Load the program into your computer with OSCAR. Then type “RUN.” (Refer to your User’s Manual if you have difficulties.) ■ Indicate your sex by entering “M” or “F”. ■ Answer questions by pressing “Y” (yes) or “N” (no). ■ Use the accompanying tables when the com- puter asks about your weight. ■ Run the program again after the computer has figured out how much your lifestyle has stretched (or shrunk) your life expectancy. Sim- ply change one answer to see how any single fac- tor can affect you.
