BIOMETRIC SCREENING

Biometric screening measures height, weight, waist circumference, blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol. Regular screening gives you advance notice of conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease, long before symptoms appear and at a time when treatment may help prevent the condition from getting worse.
