When you undergo a Biometric screening at Polaris Health Care, you can trust that your medical data and results are in secure hands. These screenings play a crucial role in monitoring your health and detecting potential risks early on.
Health Factors
A Biometric Health Screening provides valuable insights into factors such as:
- BMI (Body Mass Index): An indicator of your weight relative to your height.
- Blood Pressure: A vital measure of your cardiovascular health.
- Heart Rate: Reflects your heart’s efficiency in pumping blood.
- Glucose Levels: Essential for assessing diabetes risk.
- Cholesterol: An indicator of your heart health.
- Cotinine: Detects exposure to tobacco smoke.
- Prostate-Specific Antigen (upon request): Relevant for prostate health and cancer screening.
These screenings are typically recommended by your healthcare provider every five years to track your lifetime health trends. After your screening, our medical professionals will provide personalized recommendations and healthcare tips to help you achieve optimal health.
