Health Risk Assessment

A Health Risk Assessment (HRA) is a tool used to evaluate an individual's health status and potential risks for diseases. It typically involves a questionnaire about lifestyle choices, medical history, and family health patterns. The assessment provides insights into factors like diet, exercise, smoking, and stress levels. By identifying risk factors, HRAs help individuals understand their health better and motivate them to make positive changes, ultimately aiming to prevent health issues. Many employers and healthcare providers offer HRAs as part of wellness programs to promote healthier living and proactive healthcare.
