A health check provides a useful snapshot of your health and vitality. In just 25 minutes you gain a reasonable idea of your particular situation. If you decide to do something about your general health, a health check is the ideal way to find out exactly what could have the most effect.
The health check is divided into two parts. First you complete a brief questionnaire about your health and lifestyle. You then go to the Balans building on Zernike campus for the following measurements: blood pressure, glucose and cholesterol levels and your height and weight (to calculate your BMI and fat percentage).
The doctor’s assistant of Health, Safety and Sustainability (AMD) shall carry out the measurements. You will receive the results immediately. If you feel the need for a follow-up appointment, e.g. with the occupational health physician, that is certainly possible. All data and results will be treated confidentially and will not be communicated to either your manager or your HR-advisor.
