I got this from a newsletter.
How would you rate your health? Excellent? Good? Fair? Poor?
The following questionnaire could prove to be very helpful:
THE PROBLEMS
Evaluate your health with the following questions.
(Zero is a perfect score with five being the least desirable. Rate each of the following questions using the 0 to 5 rating, using 1-4 if your answer to the question falls between the two extremes.)
