Detection & prevention
A regular check-up on your employees' biological balance preserves their health capital and makes it possible to define any potential risks.
Health check-ups can help detect silent diseases such as diabetes, arterial hypertension or high cholesterol. They help detect conditions such as cardiovascular disorders, stress-related illnesses or any other risk factors.
Tests proposed for health check-ups
-
Cardiovascular risk assessment
- Total cholesterol and HDL and LDL cholesterol: Cholesterol is a lipid or fat essential to the body. LDL transports cholesterol from the liver to the tissue and is known as bad cholesterol when there is too much of it. HDL takes the opposite route, and is known as good cholesterol.
- Triglycerides: Other lipids which come from consuming sugar and alcohol and a sedentary lifestyle.
- Lipoprotein(a): Plays a role in lipid metabolism and levels are determined by our genes. It is a cardiovascular risk-marker.
All of these biological factors are essential in assessing cardiovascular risk.

Diabetes risk assessment
- Glycaemia: This is the level of blood sugar. A high level can be a sign of diabetes.
- Glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c): It is used to evaluate glycaemic balance over several weeks. It is a marker for monitoring diabetes but also for diabetes screening.

General check-up

- Ferritin: Reflects iron reserves (to look for anaemia).
- TSH: This hormone is tested to look for thyroid dysfunction.
- Blood count: It is used especially to determine red blood cell and haemoglobin (to look for anaemia) and white blood cell (to look for infection) levels.

Organ exploration
- PSA: Specific prostate marker, the value of which is raised in the event of inflammation and infection. It is used to put forward a diagnosis and to monitor prostate cancer progression.
