MEN’S HEALTH CHECK
The ABC’s of a men’s health check:
A = Anthropometrics
We will take some anthropometrical measurements such as height and weight from which to work out BMI. We will also measure body fat levels and measure waist circumference and waist to hip ratio if clinically indicated. We will also measure resting pulse and blood pressure.
B = Biomarkers
This involves a blood test which we will take and send off to a lab for analysis. This is the test we recommend you purchase prior to the appointment and bring it with you so we can take the blood for you. https://www.youth-revisited.co.uk/product/competitive-athlete/ This test establishes many things including a full blood count, lipid profile, inflammatory markers, thyroid, liver and kidney function, diabetes markers and hormones and nutritional markers.
C = Clinical indicators
This is a quick screen of things such as the hair, eyes, mouth, nails and skin – your body provides clues as to your health:
- CONJUNCTIVAL PALLOR – PALE CONJUNCTIVA IN THE EYES IS A SIGN OF ANAEMIA
- ACANTHOSIS NIGRICANS – DARKENED SKIN SOMETIMES WITH SKIN TAGS ON THE NECK OR ARMPITS MAY POINT TOWARDS TYPE 2 DIABETES
- ANGULAR CHEILITIS – CRACKS AND SORES IN THE COMERS OF THE MOUTH SUGGEST B VITAMIN DEFICIENCY
- FOLLICULAR KERATOSIS – RED PIMPLES ON THE BACKS OF THE ARMS MIGHT SUGGEST NUTRIENT DEFICIENCY
- LEUKONYCHIA – WHITE SPOTS IN THE NAILS SUGGESTS ZINC, IRON OR SELENIUM DEFICIENCY
Although this is not a dermatology appointment we can also pick up and moles and other skin signs or things that we think you need to see your GP about.
