Physical measurements

Physical Examination

Physical measurements alongside your blood test — body composition, lung function, ECG and more. Available in our combination packages.

What we measure

5 physical measurements

All measurements are carried out by trained nurses and medical staff at our location.

BIA

BIA — Body Composition

5 min

Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis measures fat percentage, muscle mass, visceral fat and hydration status. A fast, painless measurement using electrodes on hands and feet.

Why this is important:

BMI alone says nothing about body composition. BIA shows the ratio of fat to muscle — which is what actually matters for metabolic health.

Spirometry

Spirometry — Lung Function

10–15 min

Spirometry measures lung capacity and airflow. You breathe in and out forcefully through a mouthpiece. The measurement detects early signs of COPD and asthma.

Why this is important:

Lung function decreases with age and from smoking. Early detection allows lifestyle interventions before symptoms occur.

ECG

ECG — Electrocardiogram

10 min

A 12-lead resting ECG records the electrical activity of the heart. Performed by a nurse on a treatment table — painless and non-invasive.

Why this is important:

An ECG can detect rhythm disturbances, conduction disorders and signs of previous myocardial infarction — often without the person noticing them.

SpO2

SpO2 — Oxygen Saturation

2 min

Measurement of the oxygen saturation of the blood via a finger clip (pulse oximeter). Fast and painless.

Why this is important:

Normal SpO2 is 95–100%. Values below 92% are a signal for further investigation of lungs or heart.

BP

Blood Pressure

5 min

Measurement of systolic and diastolic blood pressure at rest. Measured three times to obtain a reliable average.

Why this is important:

Hypertension is the biggest modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Many people have elevated blood pressure without knowing it.
