metrics of health

Health metrics are measurements that help assess how well your body is functioning. Common indicators include blood pressure, which shows the force of blood against your arteries; cholesterol levels, indicating the amount of fats in your blood that affect heart health; and blood sugar, reflecting your body's ability to regulate sugar. Body mass index (BMI) estimates whether your weight is healthy for your height. Additionally, factors like heart rate, oxygen levels, and physical activity levels give insights into overall well-being. These metrics guide healthcare professionals in detecting potential health issues early and tailoring appropriate prevention or treatment strategies.
