Slide 12 - Health Screening Flashcards
What is health screening
Test that look for diseases before you have symptoms
Screening tests can find what early
During this it is
Disease
Easier to treat
Health screening depends on
Age
Sex
Family history
Having risk factors
What are the 6 steps of health screening evaluation
Determine readiness for activity
Identify signs and symptoms of disease
Desired exercise intensity
Medical history
Lifestyle history
Informed consent
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk factors:
Age
> = 45 yr in males
> = 55 in yr females
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk factors:
Family history
< 55 yr males
< 65 yr females
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk factors
Cigarette smoking:
< 6 month exposure
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk factors:
Obesity
BMI >= 30
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk factors:
Hyper tension
SBP >= 140 mmHg
DBP >= 90mmHg
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk factors:
Dyslipidernia
LDL >= 130 mg/dl
HDL < 40 mg/dl
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk factors:
Diabetes
Fasting plasma glucose >= 126 mg/dL
OGTT >= 200 mg/dl
HbA1C >= 6.5%
Total cholesterol:
Desirable
Borderline High
High
<200mg/dL
200-239 mg/dL
> = 240 mg/dL
LDL cholesterol Optimal Near optimal/above optimal Borderline high High Very high
<100mg/dL
100-129 mg/dL
130-159 mg/dL
160-189 mg/dL
> =190 mg/dL
Triglyeride Normal Borderline high High Very high
<150 mg/dL
150-199 mg/dL
200-499 mg/dL
> =500 mg/dL
HDL cholesterol
Low
High
< 40 mg/dL (increases CHD risk)
> =60 mg/dL (decreases CHD risk)
What is the pre requisite to do the TRIFIT
Completion of cholesterol test
Blood press measurement
How many values do you pick to report in the TRIFIT
2
The TRIFIT requires health questionnaires that include
CHD risk
Cancer risk
Diabetes risk
Nutrition
Prevention
Stress
Depression
What does cholestech do
Screen for cholesterol and glucose
Reflectance photometry involves
RBCs separated from plasma
Plasma interacts with reagents on pads
Colour changes
Measures amount of reflected light
Cholestech also involves
Optics check
Controls
What are the total error guidelines in NCEP for:
Total cholesterol
HDL Chol
LDL Chol
Triglycerides
+- 8.9%
+-13%
+-12%
+-15%
What is the total error for glucose in NCEP
+- 11%
The NCEP procedure requires
Warm finger
Collect blood in capillary tube
After collecting blood in capillary tube, transfer to cassette within 5 mins and analysis immediately
