KYND Checks

• Physical Measurement

  Including height, weight, waist circumference to identify risk factors for heart disease and other health-related problems.

• Lung Function

  Lung function is conducted using PC-based spirometers with intuitive diagnostic assessment and reporting capabilities. Spirometry results are assessed against the Lower Level and Upper Level of Normal (LLN and ULN) as well as the associated Z score. The check takes approximately 15 minutes.

• Blood Pressure

  We typically utilise a manual blood pressure equipment or a compact electronic device. Blood pressure results are broadly compared against NZ Primary Care and World Health Organisation recommendations. It is preferable for participants to wear loose clothing to facilitate the removal of any obstructions and allow us to place the blood pressure cuff above the elbow for accurate measurements.

• HbA1c Test

  A hemoglobin (HbA1c) test is a blood test that measures the average amount of glucose in your blood over the past two to three months. It’s a key test for diagnosing and monitoring type 2 diabetes, and can also indicate how well your diabetes is being managed.

• Cholesterol Lipids

  This involves a small finger prick for each test, using a lancet to produce a drop of blood. This will then be tested using our small electronic meters and takes 2–3 minutes per test. Fasting is not required for these results.
