Why Consider This Test
Heart Health
Women have the same chronic heart disease (CHD) risk factors as men. However, some risk factors may affect women differently than men. For example, diabetes raises the risk of CHD more in women. Also, some risk factors (such as birth control pills and menopause) only affect women.1.
Diabetes Detection
It is estimated that 12 million women aged 20 years and older have diabetes, and approximately 27 million have prediabetes.2
Thyroid Concerns
One in eight women will develop thyroid problems during her lifetime.3
