Explanations suited to your situation
Several factors are known to influence test results: age, sex, certain treatments, weight, diet, physical activity. When you sign up, you fill in a structured questionnaire (medical history, treatments, lifestyle, prevention goals). You fill it in once and update it when your situation changes.
With every new panel, BioSense uses it to adapt its explanations and its prevention advice, pointing out the factors generally associated with each marker.
For example, a generic explanation will say: “Your LDL is 1.40 g/L, above the laboratory’s reference range.” A tailored explanation will add: “You have indicated that you are on treatment for cholesterol. In treated patients, the LDL target is set individually by the doctor and may differ from the laboratory range. You may want to raise this at your next appointment.”
These explanations are neither a diagnosis nor a medical interpretation of your results. Only your doctor can interpret them in the light of your state of health.
