 Interpretation
Measures that can simply be obtained by questionnaires and without physical examination were the strongest predictors of all-cause mortality in the UK Biobank population. The prediction score we have developed accurately predicts 5 year all-cause mortality and can be used by individuals to improve health awareness, and by health professionals and organisations to identify high-risk individuals and guide public policy.


 Interactive Risk Calculator

This is the UbbLE Risk Calculator

• You will be asked to answer 11-13 questions about your background, lifestyle and health. The questions in the risk calculator use the same wording as the original UK Biobank questions.
• Based on your answers, the calculator will display your five-year risk of dying from any cause and the ‘Ubble age’ that corresponds to that risk.
• The data that you enter in the questionnaire is not used by us in any way. Please read our Privacy policy for more details.
