I think yup and yup - birth control does increase risk of cardiovascular complications (while reducing the risks associated with pregnancy, childbirth and abortion), and social support does improve health (obviously church is not the only way, just the way they have data on). But obviously, we are complex, and they can't score everything. And you can bet the scale has not been validated. It's just a tool to provide encouragement and ideas for change.
For example, I'm vegetarian, so I don't eat fish, but there's no where to say I take omega 3 supplements instead. So I just ticked that I do eat fish.
