Risk factors for developing cardiovascular disease include smoking, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes mellitus and obesity. Since the 1960s diseases of the heart have been the second biggest contributor to death in Hong Kong. The alarming factor is that the nature of these deaths may be preventable, most notably through the positive impact of physical activity.
The Active Health Clinic strives to provide a range of services that not only aim at identifying cardiovascular disease risk factors, but more importantly guide and educate clients on how to modify them. Such services include risk factor assessment, blood lipid profiling, blood glucose testing, blood pressure monitoring, body composition assessment and exercise prescription.
