terveysprofiili

Terveysprofiili, meaning "health profile" in Finnish, refers to a comprehensive overview of an individual's health status. This profile typically includes a collection of information related to a person's medical history, current health conditions, lifestyle habits, and genetic predispositions. The purpose of a terveysprofiili is to provide a holistic understanding of an individual's well-being, aiding in proactive health management and personalized medical care.

Information included in a terveysprofiili can vary but often encompasses medical records such as diagnoses, treatments, allergies, and vaccinations. It may also detail measurements like blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and body mass index, alongside information on diet, physical activity, sleep patterns, and stress levels. Genetic data, if available, can further enhance the profile by identifying potential inherited health risks.

In Finland, the concept of terveysprofiili is often associated with occupational health services and preventive care programs. Employers may offer health check-ups to their employees, contributing to the creation and maintenance of their terveysprofiili. This information is generally kept confidential and used by healthcare professionals to offer tailored advice, recommend screenings, and develop personalized health plans. The aim is to identify potential health issues early, promote healthy lifestyles, and ultimately improve the overall health and productivity of individuals.
