Abstract
In this paper, I propose that it is necessary to complement ethnographic studies of everyday health practices with investigations of the—equally ordinary, but often disregarded—production and use of formalised health measurements and valuations. I explore how this form of inquiry might be implemented by using the example of ‘healthy ageing’ practices.
