The video discusses the Obel test, an online health assessment tool aimed at people aged 40 to 78. Developed by Swedish scientists, it uses a set of questions to estimate an individual's risk of dying in the next five years. The test has been shown to have an 80% accuracy rate but is not yet suitable for clinical use. Two case studies, Juliana and Tampa Stanley, illustrate how the test results can vary. While the test can raise health awareness and encourage lifestyle changes, it has limitations, such as not explaining the reasons behind the risk of death. Experts suggest it could be a useful tool for middle-aged individuals to understand their health better.
