Did you know there are 5 stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD)? Each stage is determined by the estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR), which measures kidney function. As CKD progresses, eGFR declines. At the final stage of CKD, also known as kidney failure, patients will need a transplant or dialysis to survive. Symptoms at early CKD stages can be easy to miss, causing progression to later stages without notice. Unfortunately, by then it's often too late, and the damage is irreversible. The best defence? Prioritise kidney screening and adopt a healthy lifestyle! Regular screenings can catch issues early, and by managing risk factors like diabetes and hypertension, which are major causes of kidney failure, you can safeguard your kidney health! 🥗🏃♀️🔎 #NKFsg #BeKidneySmart #chronickidneydisease #kidneyfailure #healthishealth #sghealth

Diabetes Awareness Month highlights a critical health issue already affecting millions, and increasing in prevalence. The Scope of Diabetes- Roughly 830 million people worldwide are living with diabetes. In the US, more than 1 in 10 people have diabetes, including many that are undiagnosed. The prevalence of diabetes is continuing to rise due to lifestyle factors, aging populations, and genetic risks. Diabetes is a serious condition, with complications including heart disease, kidney failure, and vision loss. However, early detection and management can significantly improve outcomes. #functionalmedicine #diabetes #cancerawareness #diabetesawarenessmonth

Sickle cell anemia is an inherited blood disorder that alters red blood cells, making them stiff and sticky, which blocks blood flow and leads to anemia. While early detection and new treatments now allow many with the condition to live longer, it still poses serious health risks. Sickle cell anemia primarily affects people of African descent, as well as those from regions with high malaria prevalence. Symptoms can range from fatigue and pain in babies to severe organ damage in adults. Despite advances, access to effective treatment remains a challenge in many parts of the world.

This is why we have to talk about Obesity. Obesity is defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a health risk often characterized by having A body mass index (BMI) over 30. Obesity is one side of the double burden of malnutrition, and today more people are obese than underweight in every region except the South-East Asia Region, especially children. Obesity is associated with High blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, heart disease and more. Learn more about Obesity and what we are doing to support our enrollees through preventive wellness.

It’s estimated that chronic kidney disease affects 800 million people worldwide - many of whom are unaware of their condition. It’s particularly prevalent in older individuals, women, racial minorities, and in those experiencing diabetes and hypertension. And with the rise of risk factors, such as obesity, diabetes and high-cholesteral, the number of people suffering from chronic kidney disease is also on the rise.

As we approach the end of Diabetes Awareness Month, BMHC would like to highlight the significant impact of this condition on those affected by it. Diabetes is a disease that does not produce enough insulin to convert food into energy. This chronic disease can lead to other health issues that can be fatal, but there is hope with regular screenings, diabetes management, and lifestyle changes. It is imperative that we do not take this lightly, as fatality data for Blacks, Indians, and Hispanics is significantly higher than the White population, and we see enormous increases in amputations—up to 4 times more in Blacks than compared to the rest of the populations. Perhaps for reasons to do with underlying biological and cultural differences, but we have seen some positive outcomes with changes in diet, exercise, and lifestyle. Source Regular check-ups can assist in prevention and early detection. SCHEDULE your BMHC appointment today! https://lnkd.in/g_GFfMYu

•An estimated 1.28 billion adults aged 30–79 years worldwide have hypertension, most (two-thirds) living in low- and middle-income countries •An estimated 46% of adults with hypertension are unaware that they have the condition. •Less than half of adults (42%) with hypertension are diagnosed and treated. •Approximately 1 in 5 adults (21%) with hypertension have it under control. •Hypertension is a major cause of premature death worldwide. •One of the global targets for noncommunicable diseases is to reduce the prevalence of hypertension by 33% between 2010 and 2030. #worldhypertensionday #hypertension #hearthealth #Cuckos
