Metabolic Health Dashboard
Five key markers scored into a single Metabolic Health Score. See where you stand, where you're strong, and what to focus on — in one view.
Your measurements & labs
A1C and lipids from a fasting blood sample. Tap cm to switch to inches.
Medications that may affect your result
Metformin & insulin lower blood glucose and A1C. If you are on glucose-lowering medication, your A1C criterion may appear healthier than your underlying metabolic state.
Statins & fibrates lower triglycerides and may raise HDL. Both markers can appear healthier than your baseline metabolic state.
Antihypertensives (ACE inhibitors, ARBs, diuretics) lower blood pressure. Your BP score may overstate your metabolic health without treatment.
Corticosteroids (prednisone, dexamethasone) raise blood glucose, triglycerides, and promote central weight gain — all of which lower your metabolic health score.
If you are on any of these medications, your score may not fully reflect your underlying metabolic state. Discuss with your healthcare provider.
About this tool
Scoring
Each of 5 markers is scored 0–20 on a continuous scale based on where your value falls between optimal and high-risk ranges. Scores are weighted by metabolic impact: A1C (×1.3), triglycerides (×1.25), waist circumference (×1.2), HDL (×1.15), blood pressure (×1.0). The weighted total is normalized to a 0–100 Metabolic Health Score.
Markers & Thresholds
A1C: 5.7% threshold (3-month blood sugar trend). Triglycerides: 150 mg/dL / 1.7 mmol/L. Waist: Male 102 cm / Female 88 cm (Asian: Male 90 cm / Female 80 cm). HDL: Male 40 mg/dL / Female 50 mg/dL (higher is better). Blood Pressure: Systolic 130 mmHg.
Limitations
This is a composite educational score — not a clinical diagnosis. Individual markers fluctuate with diet, sleep, stress, hydration, and medication timing. The score provides directional guidance, not medical advice. A1C may be less accurate with certain hemoglobin variants or recent blood loss.
