Blood pressure

  • Blood pressure is the force of blood moving through your arteries pumped by your heart to the body.
  • Blood pressure is measured with two numbers Systolic & Diastolic. As shown in the igure below.

Health Record

  • Blood pressure lower than or equal to 120/80 is ideal.
  • For people with diabetes or kidney disease, blood pressure lower than 130/80 is good. Lower than 120/80 is ideal.
  • Blood pressure between 120–139/80–89 is considered “pre-hypertension” and requires lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of stroke.
  • A blood pressure reading equal to or higher than 140 over 90 is high.

Systolic blood pressure : .............................. mm Hg

Diastolic blood pressure : .............................. mm Hg

Diabetes

  • Diabetes is a condition in which the level of glucose (sugar) in the blood is too high, which makes it dificult for the body to use for energy.
  • Our bodies need some glucose in the blood for energy at a range of 120mg/dl. Anything higher is bad for the health.
  • Your risk of diabetes is high if you have high blood pressure, low HDL (good cholesterol) or high triglycerides, or if you are overweight, obese or a smoker.
  • Diet and exercise plays a key role in managing diabetes. Maintaining an ideal body weight is very important. Excess weight always causes poor control of blood sugar.

Blood Glucose

Random blood glucose : .............................. Mg/dl

Fasting blood glucose : .............................. Mg/dl

Cholesterol

  • Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that’s found in the blood stream and all cells of the body.
  • Your body needs some cholesterol to make hormones, vitamin D, and substances that help you digest foods.
  • LDL cholesterol is “bad” cholesterol. A high LDL level leads to a build up of cholesterol in your arteries.
  • HDL cholesterol is “good” cholesterol. This is because it carries cholesterol from other parts of your body back to your liver. Your liver removes the cholesterol from your body.
  • The higher the level of LDL cholesterol in your blood, the GREATER your chance is of getting heart disease.

Total cholesterol

Total cholesterol : .............................. Mg/dl

Body Mass Index (BMI)

  • Body Mass Index (BMI) is a person’s weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters.
  • BMI can be used to screen for weight categories that may lead to health problems but it is not diagnostic of the body fatness or health of an individual.
  • A BMI below 18.5 is considered underweight, BMI ranging from 18.5 to 24.9 is considered healthy, while 25 to 29.9 is considered overweight and BMI above 30 is considered obese.
  • Diet and exercise plays a key role in maintaining an ideal body weight.
