According to the Danish patient handbook on sundhed.dk, 20-25% of adults have high blood pressure - and it becomes more common with age. Most have no symptoms. High blood pressure increases the risk of stroke and heart attack, but the risk depends on your overall profile.
That is why it makes sense to look at several numbers together: blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar - and ideally your fitness level. One measurement is a snapshot. Measure again, and you see the direction.
The limit for high blood pressure is 140/90 mmHg measured at the doctor's. We measure at rest, so the number is accurate.
Total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and triglycerides. Cholesterol does not require fasting.
Shows your average blood sugar over the past 2-3 months and is used to detect diabetes.
Your fitness level shows how well your lungs, heart and muscles take up and use oxygen. The measurement takes 45 seconds, lying down.
Blood pressure, pulse, haemoglobin, total cholesterol, long-term blood sugar and body composition.

At the health check, we go through your numbers with you and explain what they mean. If a value is high, we recommend that you follow up with your own GP, who can repeat the measurement and assess your overall risk.
If you have chest pressure or pain, shortness of breath or sudden paralysis, call 112 - do not wait for a check.
With a health check at work, all employees have their blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar measured during working hours - with a fitness test as an add-on.
