A few more personal questions — your choice
About your early life

The next questions are about where and how you grew up — among the strongest influences on lifelong health. They’re optional and more personal. Share only what you’re comfortable with; you can skip straight to the end. Your answers are confidential, used only in aggregate to understand how early life shapes health, and never turned into a personal health profile without a separate, explicit yes from you.

Around age five, where did you live?





Module · Early life
As a child, could you play outside safely?
