Alex Gellman: Stress Form

Stress Age Questionnaire

Research centres around the world are reporting that even though we are in the electronic computer age, the individual is suffering from more stress than ever before. What does stress do to your body? In one simple answer, it ages us before our time.

Try to answer the questions as accurately and honestly as possible. Note that this is only a guideline to give the individual insight as to what areas of your life need changes. The questionnaire is divided into seven sections: Chronological Age, Dietary Choices, Daily Activities, Medical History, Medication, Stress, and Life Balance.
