YOUR HEALTH SCREENING RESULTS
Congratulations! You took the first step to good health. A health screening can help you identify risks and areas to target for improvement. Be sure to share these results with your primary care provider for further follow-up.
By participating in the screening program, you earned 10 wellness points and a $150 credit toward your Q health premiums. In addition, you will receive 3 wellness points for each of the following measures that fall within the healthy range: HDL, triglycerides or Total Cholesterol, blood glucose, blood pressure, and BMI and the possibility of earning an additional 15 wellness points based on your results.

Measure
Overview
Recommended Values
Results
Wellness Points
Total Cholesterol (TC)
Cholesterol is a soft, waxy, fat-like substance found throughout your body, including in the bloodstream and in all of your cells. Everyone needs some cholesterol in their body to help their system function properly, but too much cholesterol can cause health problems.
Normal:
199 mg/dL and below
3 points
Wellness points can be earned for either healthy TC or triglycerides, but not both.
Triglycerides
Triglycerides are the main form of fat in the body. They are used for energy and unused triglycerides are transferred to fat cells for storage. You may have a high blood level of triglycerides if you regularly eat more calories than you need. A high triglyceride level can increase your risk of heart disease.
149 mg/dL and below
High-density Lipoprotein (HDL) Cholesterol
HDL cholesterol is often referred to as “good” cholesterol because it carries cholesterol to your liver to be removed from the body.
*41 mg/dL and above
High (Good):
60 mg/dL and above .
Low-density Lipoprotein (LDL) Cholesterol
LDL cholesterol is often called "bad" cholesterol because high levels lead to buildup in your arteries, which narrows and may eventually block them. Such blockages could cause a heart attack or stroke. Your recommended LDL level depends on your other risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD).
Optimal: 99 mg/dL and below
129 mg/dL and below
(if 2+ CHD risk factors)
159mg/dL and below
(if 0-1 CHD risk factor)
TC/HDL Ratio
A high level of LDL cholesterol with a low level of HDL cholesterol increases your risk for heart disease, heart attack and stroke. A low level of LDL along with a high level of HDL reduces your risk.
Optimal:
3.5 and below
4.9 and below
Blood Glucose
Glucose is the main source of energy used by the body. You get it from the food you eat and from your cells where it is stored. Normally, blood glucose levels rise a certain amount after you eat. Insulin is a hormone that helps your body keep blood glucose levels steady and move glucose from the blood after eating into cells for use. The key is that you do not want your blood glucose to get too high. Over time, high blood glucose levels can damage your eyes, kidneys, nerves and blood vessels. Low glucose is commonly associated with diabetes treatment; in those without diabetes, it could indicate another health issue.
99 mg/dL and below
Blood Pressure
High blood pressure is considered a silent killer because there are often no noticeable warning signs or symptoms until serious problems arise. For this reason, it is important that you have your blood pressure checked regularly, at least once a year or more often if instructed. Maintaining your blood pressure will keep you at lower risk for heart disease, stroke, kidney disease and kidney failure.
Normal Systolic:
119 mmHg and below
and
Normal Diastolic:
79 mmHg and below
Waist Circumference
Waist circumference is a measurement of the distance around the abdomen used to assess abdominal fat. An increased amount of abdominal fat increases your risk for Type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke and certain cancers.
Women: 35“ and below Men: 40” and below
Height/Weight/
BMI
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number calculated from a person’s height and weight. High BMI can put you at greater risk for heart disease, cancer, diabetes and stroke.
Normal: BMI
