How does testing biomarkers help determine the health of an employee?
Biomarkers are one the best indicators of what is currently occurring in our bodies. Numerous biomarkers provide scientific indication of a person’s health. By measuring key biomarkers that may indicate the presence of chronic diseases and conditions as well as cardiovascular disease and cancer, employees can better understand the current state of their health. Biomarkers that measure outside the normal reference ranges can mean there is an underlying, problem causing an employee to be unable to perform their job at peak performance. Out-of-range biomarkers could also indicate the presence of potentially life-threatening cardiovascular disease or cancer. Identifying cardiovascular disease and cancer at the earliest stages—often before symptoms appear—may improve the effectiveness of treatment and lower the cost.
