A biometric
screening is a short health exam that determines your risk for certain serious conditions.
Most screenings measure the following
·
Blood pressure
·
Cholesterol
·
Height and weight
·
Body fat
·
Blood glucose
A screening can identify
the risk of heart disease, diabetes etc. You can get a free health screening
through your employer or a community health fair in your area. If you live in
the US, click here to find the health fair schedule in
your area. You can also pay a small fee and get some additional screening
through Life Line screening. There is some debate on how
effective screening is in detecting a serious disease. It is always a good idea to
check with your doctor to find out the testing you need based on your history.
