BiohaQ Self Test
Discover your potential
Five interactive experiences inspired by the science of longevity. A few minutes, instant results and a clear idea of what is worth measuring.
Longevity Score
12 short questions about your habits. You get a score from 0–100, your “lifestyle age” and the 3 most important areas for improvement.
Your biggest opportunities:
An indicative, educational estimate based on lifestyle factors associated with longevity in studies. It is not a medical assessment and does not measure biological age. For real data about your body, we recommend an assessment at BiohaQ.
Your engine: VO₂ max
VO₂ max shows how much oxygen your body can use at maximum effort and is one of the strongest indicators associated with longevity. We estimate it from your age and resting heart rate, without any equipment.
Tip: measure your pulse in the morning when you wake up, for 30 seconds, and multiply by 2.
- In large population studies, every increase in VO₂ max of approximately 3,5 ml/kg/min is associated with a lower risk of mortality.
- VO₂ max can be trained: endurance training and high-intensity intervals are the most effective.
An educational estimate based on the Uth–Sørensen formula (the ratio between estimated maximum heart rate and resting heart rate), with a typical error of ±10–20%. The comparison with the average for your age is approximate. The real value can only be determined through an exercise test with respiratory gas analysis.
Brain Test
Two short challenges: reaction speed (5 attempts) and working memory (increasingly long sequences of digits).
When the screen turns green, tap as fast as you can.
- Sleep, regular physical activity and stress management are among the most important factors for cognitive performance.
An educational game. The result depends on your device, connection and concentration, and is not a cognitive or medical assessment.
10 seconds on one leg
A simple balance test. A study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine (2022), involving more than 1,700 adults aged 51 to 75, showed that those who could not stand on one leg for 10 seconds had an approximately 84% higher risk of death from any cause in the following years.
- Place your phone on a table so you can see the timer.
- Stand up straight, arms by your sides, looking straight ahead.
- Lift one leg and rest its foot against the back of your other calf.
- Press Start: you have 3 seconds to get into position, then the 10 seconds begin.
Ready?
- Balance can be trained: practise standing on one leg every day, for example while brushing your teeth, first with your eyes open, then with your eyes closed.
- Leg strength and ankle mobility contribute directly to balance and to preventing falls.
An educational test. The study result shows a statistical association, not a prediction for any particular individual. If you do not pass the test, talk to a doctor about balance and fall prevention.
Sit-Rising Test
You sit down on the floor and get back up without support. The test, developed by Dr Claudio Gil Araújo, measures strength, flexibility and coordination. In the study published in 2012 on more than 2,000 adults aged 51 to 80, low scores were associated with a mortality risk several times higher than high scores.
- Start standing. Lower yourself until you are sitting on the floor, legs crossed, without supporting yourself on anything.
- Stand back up, again without support.
- You start with 10 points: 5 for sitting down and 5 for getting up. You lose 1 point for each support used (hand, elbow, knee, side of the leg) and 0,5 points if you lose your balance.
- Squats, lunges and hip and ankle mobility exercises improve your score within a few weeks.
- To maintain a high score, it helps to have sufficient muscle mass. You can measure it accurately with the InBody 770.
An educational test. The association in the study is statistical and is not an individual prediction or a medical assessment.
