Body composition
Your BMI is in the overweight category (just!). This means you are slightly overweight for your
height. Your weight would need to be less than 74kg for you to be in the normal category for BMI,
meaning a weight loss of 3 kg is advised.
YOU
Your waist circumference is in the high-risk category for future diseases including type 2 diabetes,
hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Weight loss, particularly from around the abdominal area
is advised. It is only just in this category and your waist to hip ratio is good, therefore only a small
amount of weight loss is advised. This is in line with your BMI measurement.
Body fat
Body fat was measured using skinfold callipers and was converted into a body fat percentage. Body
fat gives a more detailed measure of body composition than weight alone.
YOU
You are in the “little too much” body fat category. This means you have a higher amount of body fat
than is ideal from a health point of view. From a health point of view, you should be in at least the
average category to help reduce risk of diseases previously mentioned. Therefore a decrease in
body fat is suggested of at least 12mm. This is in line with suggestions made with your BMI and waist
circumference. Your body fat as a percentage is 25% which is just in the overweight category.
Health Markers
Blood pressure
High or low blood pressure is associated with health problems including increased likelihood of
dizziness and fainting (low blood pressure) and increased risk of heart attacks and stroke (high blood
pressure).
YOU
Based on the readings taken today you are in the stage 1 hypertension category due to the top
number being between 140-159 (just!). As blood pressure can be acutely affected, readings on two
or more separate occasions give a better indication of your blood pressure. I know you are taking
blood pressure medication and I will check your blood pressure before each session we have to keep
an eye on it.
Cholesterol
Total blood cholesterol levels were measured using a finger prick blood sample from your finger.
High total cholesterol levels effect how well your heart and blood vessels work and have been
associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
YOU
Your total cholesterol can be converted to 5.5mmol/l. Your cholesterol is in the borderline high
category which is acceptable. I suggest you monitor it every few of months to keep check of it.
Your diabetes risk score: High: 1 in 3 chance of developing in the next 10 years.
YOU
This is calculated based on your age, gender, ethnicity, family history, BMI, waist circumference and
blood pressure and you were just in the high category. It is likely to be giving a high reading due to
you taking blood pressure medication, your age, BMI and high waist circumference. A decrease in
waist circumference and BMI will lower this risk.
YOU
Your risk of developing cardiovascular disease is moderate. This is due to your age, the fact you take
blood pressure medication and your lack of physical activity. This risk will therefore be reduced with
increased physical activity levels.
Hydration
Being hydrated is important for bodily functions to be carried out efficiently and can help with
optimum sports performance.
YOU
Cardiovascular fitness
A good level of cardiovascular fitness is important for you to carry out daily activities without
fatigue, take part in your chosen sport and decrease your risk of future health problems.
You are in the below average category which needs to be improved. Having a low level of
cardiorespiratory fitness has been associated with increased risk of disease and feelings lethargy in
response to everyday activities. Being in the good or above category is ideal. This can be achieved
by including more cardiovascular exercise including walking, cycling in the gym and performing
exercises in the gym.
Flexibility
Flexibility is important for you to be able to carry out the activities of daily living effectively and for
sports performance. Good flexibility reduces risk of injury and lower back pain.
