Real Age

After doing the questionnaire it calculated my real age to be -2.6 which makes my age drop from 20.1 to 17.5. I found this to be a pretty interesting survey. I agree with many of the questions they used to judge age, but I also feel that they need more questions to get a basis. Many of the questions seem like they are designed to find problems, which they can find a prescription for, as the New York Times article suggests. I can't say that I agree with them allowing  pharmaceutical companies use the results as a marketing tool, but overall I feel it is a valuable site. It makes the person taking the survey take inventory of their everyday activities and health choices, and then when it gives the results it informs the individual on what they may be doing incorrectly. It provides them with simple solutions to problems that they may not have noticed, or that they thought were okay. It never hurts to be aware. As far as pharmaceutical companies go, I think the site should protect the members. If an individual is clearly at risk for certain problems, inform the of this and give them the option of receiving the advertisements of pills which could help them. I feel it should be a choice though, not something people are duped  into.
