Interpretation of the Total Wellness Score The purpose of the Total Wellness Score (TWS) is to give individuals a barometer of their relative risk for developing or exacerbating lifestyle related health conditions. The Wellness Score is a reflection of how well someone is doing in his or her effort to be the healthiest he or she can be.  Low Risk (90-100) A person in this range may have risks that need attention (typically no more than 2 total and no more than 1 medical risk factor) Moderate Risk (80-90) A person in this range has risks that need attention and likely has multiple risks that complicate each other, such as obesity, physical inactivity, and poor eating habits.  High Risk (70-80) A person in this range has risks that need attention, and definitely has risks that complicate each other.  High Risk with Existing Medical Conditions (<70)  A person in this range is likely to have one or more serious existing health conditions that are being exacerbated by one or more current health habits.
