Any follow-up where necessary, is to be arranged. You are advised to follow up within 1 month of receiving your results unless otherwise notified. A referral letter is attached for your use when consulting your doctor. If you had earlier opted to consult a Dayspring doctor, our staff will call or email to arrange for an appointment.
BODY MASS INDEX
The Body Mass Index (BMI) is calculated as BMI (kg/m2) = Weight in kg /[Height in m]2. WHO Classification WHO BMI cut-off Cardiovascular Asian BMI cut-off 14/02/12

points for action (kg/m2) <18.5 18.5 to 22.9 23 to 27.4 27.5 to 32.4 32.5 to 37.4 37.5
* Although the cut-points for action based on the risk of co-morbid diseases are lower among Asians, retention of the international WHO classification to define weight category in Asians has been recommended.

According to the WHO classification of adults BMI, your BMI reading places you in the UNDERWEIGHT category. Being underweight puts you at risk of nutritional deficiency diseases and osteoporosis. Do eat a balance of food from the basic food groups: 5-7 servings of rice and alternatives (eg noodles, bread, potato) for energy, and 2-3 servings of meat and alternatives (such as fish, milk, cheese, beans, bean products). For Asians, your ideal body weight range is 52.21 to 64.63 kg. For Non-Asians, your ideal body weight range is 52.21 to 70.28 kg.

Your cholesterol profile is acceptable. Whilst total cholesterol levels are important, we do look at the HDL and LDL components for assessment of cardiovascular risks. HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol) helps to lower our risk of heart disease. Higher levels are desirable and are achieved through regular exercise. LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) deposits in vessel walls and worsen cardiac risk. We should always try to choose fish and skinless poultry over saturated fats, and aim to consume more fibre such as fruits and vegetables. Keeping to our recommended weight and exercising regularly will also go a long way towards good health. Blood Glucose Your blood glucose level is normal. There is no evidence of diabetes noted.
To effectively manage the problem of high cholesterol, doctors vary the treatment based on the

person's risk profile. In general, a person is classified according to their risk of developing heart disease or heart attack in the next 10 years.This risk is assessed based on the presence of modifiable and non-modifiable factors as listed below:
Non-Modifiable Risk Factors Modifiable Risk Factors
Pre-existing heart disease Diabetes mellitus Stroke, artherosclorosis, peripheral arterial disease or abdominal aneurysm Age - Men above the age of 45 years, and women above the age of 55 years First degree relative in the family with heart disease (male developing heart disease at age below 55 years; female at age below 65 years) Indian race
High cholesterol (total and LDL) Low HDL Cigarette smoking High blood pressure, or already on hypertension medication
Accordingly, a person will be categorized under the high, intermediate or low risk group, and the target LDL levels are more stringent with increasing risk.
Based on the results of the Lifestyle Survey and Health Screening parameters, you fall within the Low risk group. This means that your risk of developing myocardial infarction or coronary death in the next 10 years is less than 10%. Accordingly, your target cholesterol levels should be as follows: LDL <160 mg/dl (4.1 mmol/l) TG <200 mg/dl (2.3 mmol/l) HDL > 40 mg/dl (1.0 mmol/l) Whilst you may be unable to alter the non-modifiable ones, do take special effort to minimize your modifiable risk factors with healthy dietary, exercise and lifestyle habits. Once again, we thank you for your participation.
