Stats to Stay in the Game
If you’re a sport fan, you probably know your favorite player’s game stats. But how familiar are you with your own health stats? For men, some important numbers to know include:
BMI (body mass index)
This metric can determine if you have a healthy body weight. A normal range is between 18.5 to 25.
LDL and HDL (low-density and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol)
This blood test measures cholesterol levels. For men age 20 or older, healthy LDL levels should be under 100 mg/dL and aim to keep your HDL above 40.
BP (blood pressure)
Blood pressure is measured using an arm cuff. A reading under 120/80 is considered ideal.
HbA1c (hemoglobin A1C)
This metric measures whether or not you have healthy blood sugar. If you are diabetic, you should check your A1C every three months.
PSA (prostate-specific antigen test)
Men who are 50 or older should get checked for prostate cancer by their provider. You may need to start screening even sooner, depending on your risk factors and family history.
Ask your provider about setting up a screenings plan, so you can be proactive about your well-being.
Take Charge of Your Prostate Health
Men need to keep a pulse on their health stats including their PSA—regular prostate cancer screenings can identify cancer earlier, leading to better outcomes.
