CASE STUDY #1 - SEVERE CRYPTIC RISK

Mandy's Wake-Up Call

Mandy is 54 and does not use tobacco. She is always mindful of maintaining a healthy weight, exercising occasionally and seeing her doctor regularly. All of her checkups go quickly as her health looks very good from traditional observation. When asked to guess how her longevity wellness ranked compared to others her age, she guessed “Well Above Average” due to her excellent checkups. However, Mandy's longevity wellness rank placed her in the 26th percentile (near the lowest for a non-tobacco user her age). What did her Analysis Report Card find that was not found by traditional methods?

Mandy's Analysis Report Card revealed the strong probability of several potential conditions that carry significant risk. Most importantly, no diagnoses of these conditions were found in her accessed medical records. This is an example of discovering a severe Cryptic Risk individual - and an excellent opportunity to quickly engage and intervene before her conditions progress.

Mandy worked with her doctor to confirm her conditions and diagnose their causes, and a course of action is being followed.

CASE STUDY #2 - EMERGING CRYPTIC RISK

Anthony's Answer

At 37, Anthony watches his weight, exercises frequently and has check-ups occasionally. He takes medication to keep his cholesterol in check as well as some vitamin supplements. When asked to guess how his longevity wellness ranks compared to others his age, he guessed “Well Above Average” due to his very active lifestyle, no tobacco use, good diet and BMI. Anthony was shocked to see that his longevity wellness rank was below average. What else did his Analysis Report Card reveal?

Anthony's Analysis Report Card revealed the high probability of two potential conditions that carry significant risk - Type 2 Diabetes and Hypertension. Most importantly, no diagnoses of these conditions were found in his accessed medical records.

This is an example of discovering an emerging Cryptic Risk incident - and an excellent opportunity to engage and intervene before his conditions progress and more costly interventions are required.

Anthony worked with his healthcare professional on a course of action, and his Rank improved to 64.75% the next year!
