Health Risk Improvements

Type II Diabetes (high blood glucose), Hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol), Hypertension (high blood pressure), and Metabolic Syndrome are common diseases that significantly increase a corporation’s health care costs, and just as importantly, greatly diminish the quality and length of an individual’s life.

Illustrated below are average changes in common metabolic risk factors in clients who completed the 20/20 Lifestyles program from 2002-2006.

The categories shown here are defined as Remission, Reduced Risk, and High Risk.

Remission – Normalized the condition and eliminated the need for prescription drug medications.

Reduced Risk – Reduced the condition and improved overall health risk, but still had values measuring above the ideal or normal range.

High Risk– Strong likelihood that a person will prematurely develop additional health problems, these conditions are further associated with a high morbidity and mortality rate.
