What is the health risk assessment (HRA)?

Updated May 12, 2026 Employee

The Health Risk Assessment is a detailed health questionnaire within Vantage Fit that evaluates your overall fitness and assigns you a fitness percentage from 0 to 100%. It's one of the most comprehensive health tools in the app, covering everything from your blood pressure to your exercise habits.

What the HRA Asks

The questionnaire collects information across nine health areas:

  1. Blood Group
  2. Waist Size
  3. Blood Pressure
  4. Cholesterol Levels
  5. Diabetes Status
  6. Smoking Habits
  7. Alcohol Consumption
  8. Exercise Frequency
  9. Age and BMI (pulled from your health profile)

Each area contributes to your total fitness score, with a maximum of 95 points across all nine components.

How Your Score Is Calculated

Your answers are scored across the nine components and combined into a single fitness percentage. The categories are:

Category Score Range Meaning
Excellent 85% and above Low health risk, strong fitness indicators
Good 70% – 84% Moderate health with room for improvement
Average 50% – 69% Some risk factors present
Below Average 35% – 49% Multiple risk factors, attention needed
Critical Below 35% High risk, consult a healthcare professional

Note: The HRA is an informational tool, not a medical diagnosis. For any health concerns, always consult your doctor.

How the HRA Connects to Your Wellness Score

Your HRA result feeds directly into the Baseline component (20%) of your Wellness Score. Without completing the HRA, the Wellness Score uses a default baseline of 50. Completing it gives you a more accurate and personalized Wellness Score.

Important Things to Know

  • The HRA is not part of onboarding. It's a separate feature you access on your own. You won't be prompted to complete it when you first set up the app.
  • It's not available in Lite Mode. If your company uses Lite Mode (simplified, steps-only), the HRA feature is not accessible.
  • About 20% of employees complete it. Completion is voluntary, but it significantly improves the accuracy of your Wellness Score.
  • You can retake it. If your health situation changes (e.g., you quit smoking, your blood pressure improves), retake the HRA to update your score.

How to Access the HRA

  1. Go to your Profile.
  2. Look for Health Risk Assessment or HRA.
  3. Tap to start the questionnaire.
  4. Answer all questions honestly for the most accurate result.
  5. Submit to see your fitness percentage and category.

Tip: Answer honestly. The HRA is private and exists to help you understand your own health — not to judge you. The more accurate your answers, the more useful the result.

Tips for a Better HRA Score

  • Know your numbers — Before starting, check your latest blood pressure and cholesterol readings if you have them.
  • Be honest — Underreporting smoking or alcohol won't help you.
  • Update regularly — If you make lifestyle changes, retake the HRA to see your improvement reflected.
