Congratulations on completing your Biometric Health Screening!
Now that you have received your screening results, you can be more informed about your health and wellness needs. Use the information provided on this page to learn what your numbers mean and what you can do to support continued well-being in your life.
Interpreting Your Screening Numbers:
Below, you'll find the optimal levels for each of the parameters tested during a Healthy OHIO Biometric Health Screening. Please note, Hemoglobin A1C is only tested if you presented as high risk for three or more parameters. So, if your results did not include HbA1C, that means you were considered low-risk for pre-diabetes or diabetes and were, therefore, not tested.
