Welcome to our on-line health risk assessment
This health risk assessment will provide you with an idea of your risk for common chronic diseases. Knowing your risk factors is important as it enables you to make lifestyle choices and changes that can decrease your risks and improve your health. It’s important to show your doctor/s your results as they will be able to monitor any potential problems and treat any conditions where necessary to help prevent permanent damage.
Before you complete this health risk assessment you will need to know some basic measurements and values. These include: your height, weight, blood pressure, total cholesterol and random blood glucose. Your doctor or local pharmacy clinic can do these tests for you.
Don't forget to ask for a copy of your results or ask them to record your results on our downloadable health passport. Keep your results on file for future reference.
For some questions you will need to get information from your parents to ascertain if there is a family history of any heart or circulatory problems and cancer and to establish at what age they were affected.
The health risk assessment also provides a guide as to what screening tests you should be having and at what age.
