There are a few flaws in the thinking here: One, that we can define a "healthy human" or that any humans can be found that are operating at full health. Two, that there is a single set of traits that defines a healthy human, or that it could be distilled via sampling and synthesizing data about many humans. Three, that any such indicators or traits they discover will not change over time. There is undoubtedly the need for tremendous amounts of research into human physiology and health, but there's a very naive hubris that runs through all these grand analysis projects that promise to solve all human health woes. Our bodies are the most complex systems that we know of in the entire universe. The idea that we are anywhere close to understanding how they should optimally work is just completely daft. Just look back at the promises made by the Human Genome Project in the early 90s. Yes, we've learned a lot since then, but mostly we've learned that the relationship between our bodies and our genes is far far more complicated than we imagined 25 years ago.
