AIA Launches Age Calculator

Meanwhile, a new health and wellbeing age calculator unveiled by AIA has found that some age groups have an average health age of up to nine years older than their chronological age.

A statement from the insurer says that the AIA Vitality Age Calculator, launched by AIA Australia and its health and wellness program AIA Vitality, asks participants a range of questions based on their demographics, as well as their key health and wellbeing habits and behaviours.

It says the calculator takes into consideration exercise habits, diet, smoking status, alcohol consumption and mental wellbeing; to then produce an average “health and wellbeing” age, which compares against the user’s chronological age.

The insurer says that using national data, AIA Vitality has generated an average health age profile of the nation which shows that females are faring better than their male counterparts when it comes to their average health age.

When comparing how the generations are ageing, Gen X (40-54 years) was the worst performing, with a health age that is up to nine years older than their chronological age.

Millennials (18-39 years) were the best performing group; however, their health age is still up to three years older than their actual age.
