  Desk jobs, fast food and the daily grind are taking their toll, says Public Health England.

  Health officials say the "sandwich generation" of people caring for children and ageing parents do not take enough time to look after themselves. We are living longer, but are in poorer health because we store up problems as we age.

  健康官员称,照顾孩子和老龄化父母的“三明治一代”没有足够的时间照顾自己。我们的寿命越来越长,而健康状况却越来越差,因为随着年龄的增长,我们积攒了很多健康问题。

  The PHE website and app has a quiz that gives users a health score based on their lifestyle habits by asking questions such as, "Which snacks do you eat in a normal day?" and "How much exercise do you get every day?".

  PHE网站和应用程序有一个测试,根据用户的生活习惯,给他们一个健康得分,测试会问这样的问题,如“你日常吃什么零食?和“你每天做多少运动?”。

  The questions are simple, but the results are revealing. "The How Are You Quiz will help anyone who wants to take a few minutes to take stock and they can take a little action to make a big difference to their health."

  问题很简单,但结果是显而易见的。“How Are You Quiz将帮助任何想要花费几分钟进行评估的人,他们可以采取一些行动,改善他们的健康。

  More than a million people have taken the quiz so far.

  Lee Parker is 41 and from Bolton. He did the quiz in March before starting a diet in August.

  Weighing in at more than 22 stone, Lee started to diet and exercise and lost just over five stone in 16 weeks.
