Learn Your Numbers
Blood Pressure - These numbers measure the pressure on your arteries
as the heart muscle pumps blood. High blood pressure increases your risk for stroke, and heart and kidney disease.
Normal Range - less than 120/80
Body Mass Index (BMI) - A measure of body fat based on height and weight. A higher BMI puts you at risk for high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and certain cancers.
Normal Range - 18.5 to 24.9
Glucose - This simple blood sugar is your body’s main energy source. A fasting blood test is vital in the early detection and treatment of diabetes, which can damage your heart, kidneys, nerves, blood vessels, or eyes.
Normal Range - 100-125 mg/dl fasting
Cholesterol and Fat - Keeping these levels in check lowers your chances of heart disease or stroke.
- LDL - “Bad cholesterol” is more likely to clog arteries and cause heart disease.
- HDL - “Good cholesterol” protects against dangerous blockages in the arteries that can lead to heart disease.
- Triglycerides are fat types that provide cells with energy to function.
Normal Ranges
Total Cholestrol: 150 - 200 mg/dL
LDL (bad): Less than 100 mg/dL
HDL (good): At least 40 mg/dL
Triglicerides: Less than 150 mg/dL
