Elevated visceral fat
Our client, a managing director in his late 50s, attended his first Preventicum assessment in 2022. He was identified as having high levels of visceral fat, a fatty liver and severe thickening of his heart muscle (related to years of high blood pressure and elevated body fat). The importance of these findings was discussed and recommendations made to reduce his risk of earlier-onset cancer, heart attack and stroke. Following his assessment, our client changed his diet and lifestyle and took a significant decision with a specialist to have gastric sleeve surgery. He booked his next assessment in 2023.
Our client’s body composition analysis showed markedly reduced visceral fat levels and a 10% decrease in his percentage body fat. Our Consultant Cardiac Radiologist noted significant improvements to his heart muscle and function, in comparison to his cardiac MRI scans from the previous year, such that our client no longer required blood pressure medication. His LiverMultiScan showed improvements and were within normal limits.
Our client continues to enjoy his improved healthier lifestyle and is following our recommendations to start an exercise routine to see increased positive changes in his cardiac physiology. We look forward to welcoming him back to Preventicum in 2024.
