What is a Health Risk Assessment?

A Health Risk Assessment is a systematic evaluation of an individual's health status and risk factors. It typically involves questionnaires, screenings, and biometric measurements to identify potential health risks, allowing for early intervention and personalized prevention strategies.

• Preventive focus: Identifies risks before they develop into serious conditions.
• Personalized approach: Tailors health recommendations to individual risk profiles.
• Resource optimization: Directs healthcare resources toward highest-impact interventions.
