1-in-4 of us will die from heart disease. And it's not just men that are affected. Six times as many women die from heart disease as from breast cancer.
Heart disease takes years to develop but starts in your 20s. A metabolic health test (or heart health test) can help you prevent heart disease and other conditions by checking your cholesterol, HbA1c (diabetes risk) and inflammation. Optimise these heart health markers to lower your risk.
Metabolic health looks at how well your body is coping with everyday challenges such as what you eat, how you move, stress and sleep.
Metabolic health has sometimes been called "heart health" but actually we know that your levels of cholesterol, HbA1c and inflammation influence more than just your heart. Poor metabolic health accelerates ageing and increases the risk of common killers such as heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes and dementia.
It's never too early to get a metabolic health test. Conditions like heart disease, diabetes and cancer don't happen overnight. They take years to develop and problems with your metabolic health can be the first sign of trouble, happening decades earlier.
1-in-3 adults between 18 and 39 already have high cholesterol and 1-in-4 heart attacks in men, and 1-in-7 heart attacks in women, happen before the age of 55.
So don't wait until it's too late, get a metabolism test today.
Metabolic health can be defined by having optimal levels of the following 5 markers:
If you have abnormal levels of three or more of these markers, you are said to have metabolic syndrome.
Our Metabolic Health Blood Test checks for all the blood tests above.
The metabolic health blood test gives you a snapshot of how well your body is adapting to the food you eat and the energy you use. It checks the levels of your cholesterol, HbA1c (diabetes risk) and inflammation.
Your lipid profile - the levels of triglycerides and cholesterols in your blood - is one of most important risk factors for heart disease. High cholesterol also increases your risk of stroke and dementia.
WHAT'S MEASURED?
Diabetes and pre-diabetes - the stage before full-blown diabetes - are directly linked to your risk of heart disease. Poor sugar handling is also related to other conditions such as cancer and dementia.
WHAT'S MEASURED?
Cholesterol and diabetes are important causes of heart disease but we can actually test for heart risk directly with high sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP).
WHAT'S MEASURED?
This metabolism test includes a cholesterol profile. It's best to take this test when fasting. Practically, this usually means taking the test in the morning, before breakfast.
This metabolism test panel can tell you if you have markers in the blood of a number of important and/or common conditions that can affect your heart and metabolic health. Abnormal results may mean there are lifestyle changes or even medications that could improve your heart health and your risk of getting other conditions such as cancer, stroke and dementia.
We do not recommend using this test panel if you:
