Heart rate describes the number of times your heart beats per minute, oftentimes also referred to as your pulse. You can actually check your heart rate yourself by feeling your pulse in your wrist, inside of the elbow, side of the neck, or top of the foot. The number of beats in 60 seconds will communicate your resting heart rate.

Heart rate variability (HRV) refers to the timing differences between your heartbeats. It varies from heart rate because instead of counting the number of beats, it counts the time between each beat in milliseconds.

Cardiac workload, also known as myocardial workload, measures how much stress is put on the heart muscle.

Your breathing rate, also referred to as your respiratory rate, refers to the number of breaths you take each minute. A normal breathing rate will vary depending on someone’s age, but for adults over the age of 18, a typical breathing rate is around 12 to 20 breaths per minute. To measure your breathing rate, you can count how many breaths you take in a single minute or count for 30 seconds and then multiply the result by two.

A stress index measurement evaluates the body’s physiological response to stress based on heart rate patterns. During a stress test, a provider may assess vital signs like heart rate, heart rhythm, and blood pressure.

Your parasympathetic nervous system belongs to your autonomic nervous system. Put simply, it is the “automatic” nervous system that regulates involuntary bodily processes.

Body mass index (BMI) is a calculation taken by dividing somebody’s body weight (in kilograms) by the square of their height (in meters). The equation is as follows:

BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)2

BMI is categorized in the following ways:
Underweight: Below 18.5
Normal: 18.5-24.9
Overweight: 25.0-29.9
Obesity: 30.0 and over

A wellness score is a single, easy-to-read score summarizing overall health based on key physiological markers.

While BMI can give insight into obesity-related risks, someone’s waist-to-height ratio is a more accurate predictor of such risks. This is because it considers your waist, particularly the amount of fat that sits around someone’s abdomen. This fat consists of subcutaneous fat (fat under the skin) and visceral fat (fat around the organs). Both types of fat are associated with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and type 2 diabetes.

While other measurements like BMI can certainly be informative, they don’t capture all aspects of weight and health. Indicators like body fat percentage can be a bit more useful, as it helps to distinguish the ratio between lean muscle and fat mass.

Someone’s basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the minimum amount of calories that someone’s body requires to function. This number of calories is necessary to support bodily processes like blood circulation, breathing, and body temperature. BMR is the most important source of energy for the body, making up 60 to 70 percent of the total energy the body needs

Measures the number of heartbeats per minute, a key indicator of cardiovascular health and fitness.

Body roundness index (BRI) is a calculation that includes someone’s height, weight, and waist circumference. Like some other indicators, it gives a clearer picture as to how fat is distributed throughout one’s body. The more fat in the abdomen, the higher risk someone is for health conditions. This is because excess fat can cause chronic inflammation, resulting in conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, and cancer. In general, a waist measurement above 35 inches in women and 40 inches in men is considered unhealthy.

Conicity index (CI) is another indicator of weight and overall health. Experts created the conicity index as a way to evaluate obesity and body fat distribution. To do so, the equation considers waist circumference, weight, and height.

Total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) is the number of calories someone’s body uses within 24 hours. This value includes the amount of calories your body uses both at rest and during activity. Your TDEE is calculated based on your age, sex, height, weight, lean body mass, and activity level. Thus, caloric requirements can vary significantly amongst individuals.

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) happens when plaque builds up within the walls of someone’s arteries. It encompasses several different conditions, including:
Coronary heart disease (CHD) (e.g., myocardial infarction, coronary artery stenosis, angina)
Cerebrovascular disease (e.g., ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack, and carotid artery stenosis)
Peripheral artery disease (e.g., claudication)
Aortic atherosclerotic disease (e.g., descending thoracic aneurysm)
