This is simple. You need to answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to each question, with the exception of the age question. Each ‘yes’ answer is awarded a single point. In the age question, you score more the older you are, with a maximum of 3 and a minimum of 0.

2 A family history of obesity or high cholesterol?

3 Type II diabetes (non-insulin dependent, adult-onset)?

4 High blood pressure (Hypertension)?

5 High blood sugar (Hyperglycemia)?

6 Low blood sugar (Hypoglycemia)?

7 Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)?

8 Gout or arthritis?

9 Kidney stones?

10 A BMI of 30 or over?

11 Take the birth control pill (now, or for more than a year in the past)?

12 Exercise less than one hour a week?

13 Are you of South Asian, African, Polynesian, or Mexican origin?
