Completing a health risk assessment has several potential benefits including identifying health risk factors, controlling health care costs, encouraging you and family members to take a proactive stance when it comes to personal health care. Each of these factors can contribute to preventing future health problems.
According to the Mayo Clinic, health risk assessments can reduce health risks and motivate people to make changes to promote better health. When people know that certain lifestyle choices and factors within their control could cause serious illnesses in the future, they are often motivated to start making healthy changes in their lives.
For example, if an individual is overweight and has high blood pressure, he or she is at increased risk for heart disease, stroke and other chronic conditions. Once a risk has been identified, one of the Consult-A-Doctor physicians can then work with you to achieve a healthy weight and make other positive changes to lower blood pressure and reduce other risk factors.
It is estimated that unhealthy behaviors account for:
- 54% of all heart disease
- 37% of cancer
- 69% of motor vehicle fatalities
- 50% of all deaths before age 75
The good news is these unhealthy behaviors are modifiable.
Once risky behavior or conditions are identified, based on information gathered during the health risk assessment process, individuals are directed to a corresponding program. Participants can access health coaches by telephone or online and receive assistance with weight management, smoking cessation, stress management, exercise and fitness, pre and post natal care, and chronic conditions such as asthma, back pain and diabetes.
