Important Articles

The following articles provide theory behind the measurements we take. We base our preventive advice off the latest available research and guidelines

Healthline's Glycemic Index: What It Is and How to Use It

  • APSEA volunteers frequently recommend that participants with high blood sugar eat low glycemic index foods. This article breaks down what the term "glycemic index" means, how high glycemic index foods spike blood sugar, and alternative foods to eat.

Cleveland Clinic's Visceral Fat

  • The bioimpedance device we use at APSEA screenings calculates visceral fat. This article describes in detail what visceral fat is, how it differs from subcutaneous fat, and how to reduce visceral fat

Healthline's What Is Basal Metabolic Rate?

  • Our bioimpedance device also measures basal metabolic rate (BMR). This article goes into detail about how BMR is calculatesd and can help you determine how many calories you should be eating per day based off your age, sex, height, weight, and activity level.
