Health Risk Assessment And Heart Age
This service includes instant tests of Total Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, Triglycerides, Glucose and blood pressure.
The calculated “Heart Age” is a way to communicate a patient’s risk to develop cardio vascular disease over the years to come. It is a snap shot of personal health. This is then compared to research data. The information obtained from the tests is useful for well individuals who developed their specific concerns about risk and possible prevention. As we know, a test can be a sensible step towards beneficial life style changes.
There are many risk factors for heart disease. Medical research provided different forecast tools. TB.MD uses solid data based on the Framingham Study.
The initial consultation about the assessment is free for patients of Body Silk. Just book your 15 minutes consultation at Body Silk.
If you decide for the test, then the total service fee would be £80.
Lung Age
TB.MD’s validated spirometry test provides information about your current lung function. Of the several test results, the “Lung Age” is an interesting one.
The test and consultation last about 30 minutes. In several steps we measure the volume and speed of air you are able to expel from the lungs.
GP’s and specialists use this method frequently to differentiate various lung conditions and treat accordingly. This is not why we do it.
TB.MD provides this service for smokers who thought or think of stopping at some point. It is not quite clear why, but doctors are now aware that some smokers who knew their “Lung Age” had a significant higher likelihood of quitting successfully. TB.MD thinks the test is worth to be offered.
The initial consultation about the assessment is free for patients of Body Silk. Just book your 15 minutes free appointment.
If you decide to go ahead with the spirometry, then the total service fee would be £ 40.
