What do the grades mean?
Each category gets a letter from A+ to F. The scale is set against the results research links with the lowest long-term risk, not against what is common, so an A means excellent and a B is very good.
A: optimal, the range linked with the best long-term outcomes.
B: very good, with a small target for improvement.
C: acceptable and common, but worth a closer look.
D: worth scheduling a visit with your doctor.
F: worth talking to your doctor promptly.
Your overall grade combines blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and body composition. The exact formula is our own, and the same rules apply to everyone, adjusted only for age and sex.
