Why Test Apparently Healthy
People ?
Most individuals do not know they have heart
problem until they experience symptoms.
Disease is at an advanced stage by this time.
Heart Disease: Leading killer in U.S.
600,000 deaths every year
715,000 heart attacks every year
Coronary heart disease alone costs the United
States $108.9 billion each year
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)
![Page 15: A Preventative Tool of the Present to Add Life to the Future To offer comprehensive exercise and physiological fitness testing programs as primary preventative measures to combat preventable](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030418/5aa43b3e7f8b9ae7438bc34c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Costs of Preventable Diseases
988.5 Billion spent in the U.S. on Health
Care annually.
384 Work-Loss Days per year due to
acute conditions (injury / illness).
Many of these are preventable by
maintaining a wellness program in your
company.
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)

What else is out there?
On site health appraisals that offer you
very little discernable health information.
Bioelectrical impedance estimations of
body composition
under predicts body fat % in obese individuals
(Heath et al, 1998)
not a valid technique, small fluid changes are
interpreted as changes in body fat

FITLIFE Fitness Testing
Offers the most health information and
preventative data for the money.
We are an academic program and not a
for profit organization. Able to offer clients
top rate testing for a cut rate price.
Graded exercise test with cardiologist
alone is worth more than the cost of the
entire health profile on the market.
