Body fat analysis.
Body fat can not be measured on the bathroom scales or by BMI. A fat analyser can accurately scan and measure body fat which will give you a more a complete picture of your physical condition. It will tell your how much of you body is composed of fat cells and how much is lean body mass.
Body weight, height, body mass index (BMI).
This is a measurement of body weight and height to identify weight problems and whether you are underweight, overweight or obese. The higher your BMI, the higher the risk of you developing heart disease diabetes and other conditions such as osteoarthritis.
It is a way of establishing your ideal weight for you height. BMI does not tell you your actual body fat percentage which is why we scan you with a body fat analyser.
Lung function.
This test will evaluate how well your lungs are working and how much air your lungs can hold and how quickly you can exhale. This is particularly important in diagnosing lung diseases such as emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and bronchitis and measuring the severity of your lung problem. It is a valuable test for those who smoke cigarettes.
Prostate cancer.
Early screening and detection is vital as 1 in 6 men are affected by prostate disease. Prostate cancer kills one man every 14 minutes.
Ovarian Cancer and menopause.
Ovarian cancer is known as the silent killer as there are no signs and symptoms in the early stages. Symptoms usually suggest that the cancer has progressed to advanced stages.
Bowel Cancer.
1 in 20 people develop bowel cancer. This quick test can detect bowel disorders and other bowel conditions at an early stage
The tests involves taking a small sample of faeces and can detect blood in the stool. A positive test means that further investigation and examination of you bowel will be required.
Kidney Function and urine screen.
12 individual tests are performed and can detect and measure the compounds that pass through the urine indicating metabolic kidney disorders and urine infections. Protein, glucose and blood can appear in the urinemay not be visible. The majority of people have no signs and symptoms until kidney and bladder disease are well established.
Total and triglyceride cholesterol.
There are no symptoms of high blood cholesterol levels. Developing symptoms means that your cardiovascular disease is well advanced. The only way to know is to have a cholesterol test. Blood tests determine the level of HDL (good cholesterol), LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides which are other damaging fatty substances in your blood.
Too much bad cholesterol in the blood can cause arteries to become blocked with fatty deposits that attach to the wall of the artery causing them to become narrow. This prevents the blood getting through easily. Over time the artery will become blocked increasing the risk of having heart disease, a heart attack and strokes
When assessing your risks of developing cardiovascular disease we check you total cholesterol which looks at the ratio of all the tests including your body mass index, height, weight, blood pressure, family history and your age and then we can assess whether you have a high, moderate or low risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
Blood pressure and pulse check.
A high blood pressure often causes no symptoms but if left untreated can develop into serious cardiovascular diseases and lead to strokes, heart attacks and angina. Lifestyle, dietary changes and medication can control blood pressure and decrease health risks.
Diabetes.
Diabetes can go undetected often for many years until picked up at a routine health check. Blood sugar levels raise in diabetes and can lead to considerable health consequences such as eye disorders, kidney disease, nerve damage, cardiovascular disease leading to heart attacks, stroke and poor circulation.
