When you come in for your annual health screening at MyDoctor, we look at more than just the scale. To truly understand your internal health, you need to “know your numbers.” In 2026, medical science has identified specific metabolic health markers that provide a roadmap for your future wellness.
The “Big Five” Numbers:
- A1c & Fasting Insulin: Essential for blood sugar monitoring and catching insulin resistance early.
- hs-CRP: This “high-sensitivity C-reactive protein” test measures silent inflammation in your body—a major predictor of heart health.
- ApoB: A more precise look at your cholesterol that predicts cardiovascular risk better than standard LDL tests.
- Blood Pressure: Still the “silent killer,” but now we look at your 24-hour averages for a clearer picture.
- VO2 Max: A measure of your cardiorespiratory fitness, which is one of the strongest predictors of long-term survival.
