What you can learn from YOUR Universal Cardiometabolic Risk Assessment Report

Now that you have completed your Cardiometabolic Risk Assessment, it is important to understand your results and build a plan of action to maintain your health and make course corrections where appropriate.

We strongly recommend that before taking ANY action based on this diagnostic risk assessment, you should read through your report thoroughly and consult with your physician.

What is in Your Complete Cardiometabolic Risk Assessment Report

Overview: Understanding How Your Report is Structured

  • Cover page with information about your report order

  • Brief letter from our Chief Medical Officer about cardiometabolic disease and how the modifiable risk factors are interrelated. This page is very important because it provides you with the context of the linkage between your modifiable metabolic, diabetic, and cardiovascular risk and the common linkage—insulin resistance.

Part 1: Your Cardiometabolic Risk Summary

  • Focuses attention on the modifiable metabolic factors that constitute Insulin Resistance Syndrome (“Metabolic Syndrome”)

  • Provides easy-to-follow graphics that identify the severity of your Metabolic Risk, Diabetic Risk, and Cardiovascular Risk

  • Serves as a quick reference when talking with your healthcare provider or health coach

Although this summary alone may be enough, we unpack the details in the following sections of the report to provide additional context to the individualized risk values shown here.

Part 2: Your Metabolic Syndrome Risk Details

  • Identifies your insulin resistance status using the HOMA-IR. The reflected hashmarks are set at the 5th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 95th percentiles specific to your gender, ethnicity, and the glycemic concordance/discordance of your fasting glucose and A1c.

  • Outlines your specific metabolic health goals and values that constitute metabolic syndrome

  • Reports high-risk inflammatory (hsCRP) and lipoprotein particle number (ApoB) values that increase insulin resistance related to greater diabetic and cardiovascular risk

  • Incorporates an outcome-proven Metabolic Syndrome Severity Score that further discriminants individual risk beyond individual metabolic syndrome factors

Part 3: Your Diabetic Risk Details

  • Graphically presents the values necessary to assess your risk of type 2 diabetes including your current fasting glucose and HOMA-IR Score

  • Reports your gender and ethnicity specific 5-Year Risk of Developing Diabetes based on outcome data integrating your hemoglobin A1c, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, and HOMA-IR

  • Demonstrates that your personal diabetic risk is modifiable through improvement in your HOMA-IR and fasting glucose values

    Remember that your risk is modifiable and reducing your risk starts with reducing your insulin resistance (HOMA-IR).

Part 4: Your Cardiovascular Risk Details

  • Reports your 10-year and 3-year Cardiovascular Risk Score based on the most current American College of Cardiology (ACC) guidelines-based PREVENT calculator

  • Identifies any of the 30+ individual Risk Enhancing Factors that contributes to your cardiovascular risk

  • Determines your Overall Cardiovascular Risk by incorporating your calculated risk and presence of risk enhancing factors

  • Provides your specific lipoprotein management goals using national and international guidelines

This section in specifically tuned to provide a comprehensive understanding of your risk and goals that, when met, will optimize cardiovascular risk reduction.

Part 5: Your Comprehensive Risk Tracking Charts

  • Clearly demonstrates the impact of clinical and behavioral interventions over time

  • The design visually reinforces improved behavior toward a healthier risk score

  • Cumulative tracking pages are a working document to set future goals

Seeing your body’s response over time has a positive association with reaching your goals. Positive feedback drives continued behavior improvements that you can see and feel!

Part 6: Links to Additional Information and Your Survey Answers

Part 7: Your lab results

Although our report wraps significant additional context around the point-in-time advanced biomarkers, we know seeing the raw values is important, too.

If you got here without actually having your own Cardiometabolic Risk Assessment (it happens!), you can order your own report to identify your metabolic, diabetic, and cardiovascular risk.
