KNOW THE NUMBERS THAT ARE KEY INDICATORS OF YOUR HEALTH
When it comes to your health, there are four numbers you need to know: blood pressure, blood sugar, total cholesterol and body mass index (BMI). These are four key health measurements that are good indicators of future.
High cholesterol increases your chance of heart disease and may not cause symptoms at first. All adults over 20 should have a blood test called a fasting lipid profile test at least once every five years. This test will reveal your total cholesterol, LDL (bad) and HDL(good) and triglyceride levels.
Desirable total cholesterol: below 200 mg/dL
Optimal LDL ('bad') cholesterol: below 100 mg/dL
Optimal HDL ('good') cholesterol: over 60 mg/dL
Many people don’t know they have high blood pressure because there aren’t any symptoms. Left untreated, high blood pressure can lead to heart attack, stroke, blindness and kidney failure. You should have your blood pressure checked every two years.
Two numbers are used to describe blood pressure:
Systolic: The systolic pressure (the first number) measures as the heart contracts to pump out the blood.
Diastolic: The diastolic pressure (the second number) measures the heart as it rests between contractions.
A blood pressure reading is written like this: 120/80 mm Hg, where 120 is the systolic, and 80 is the diastolic blood pressure.
BMI is a tool for indicating weight status in adults. As BMI increases the risk of some serious diseases increases. Divide your weight by your height and multiply by 703 to get your body mass index (BMI). Here's an example using a women who is 5-foot-3 and 120 pounds: 703 x (120/63x63) = a BMI of 21.25.
Compare your results. If you are <18.5 you are considered underweight, 18.5 to 24.9 is considered normal, 25 to 29.9 is overweight and 30 or above is considered obese.
You are less likely to have health problems if you maintain a healthy weight.
Diabetes can affect your whole body. When your blood sugar is too high for too long, it can lead to problems with your heart, blood vessels, eyes and kidneys. All healthy adults over 45 should have a blood glucose test every three years. Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) is a simple blood test taken after eight hours of fasting. The following applies to Fasting Plasma Glucose readings:
FPG levels are considered normal up to 110 mg/dL.
Levels between 110 and 125 are referred to as impaired fasting glucose. They are only slightly above normal, but are considered to be risk factors for diabetes type 2 and its complications.
Diabetes is diagnosed when FPG levels are 126 mg/dL or higher on two different days.
Knowing and tracking your numbers over time will allow you to gauge your risk for diabetes, heart disease and stroke. And it will help focus on making the lifestyle changes that matter most, such as tobacco cessation, getting more exercise or eating right.
