• Blood Sugar Levels: a measure of glucose levels in the blood, with high levels indicating potential diabetes or insulin resistance
• Cholesterol Levels: a measure of lipid levels in the blood, with high levels indicating potential cardiovascular disease
• Hemoglobin Levels: a measure of red blood cell count, with low levels indicating potential anemia

Behavioral Indicators

• Physical Activity Levels: a measure of regular exercise and physical activity, with low levels indicating potential health risks
• Sleep Patterns: a measure of regular sleep duration and quality, with irregular patterns indicating potential health risks

• Pulse Rate is a measure of heartbeats per minute, with variations indicating potential cardiovascular issues such as tachycardia or bradycardia

Physiological Indicators of Health

• Blood Sugar Levels measure glucose levels in the blood, with high levels indicating potential diabetes or insulin resistance, and potentially leading to complications like nerve damage, kidney damage, and blindness
• Cholesterol Levels measure lipid levels in the blood, with high levels indicating potential cardiovascular disease, heart attacks, and strokes
• Hemoglobin Levels measure red blood cell count, with low levels indicating potential anemia, fatigue, and shortness of breath

Behavioral Indicators of Health

• Physical Activity Levels measure regular exercise and physical activity, with low levels indicating potential health risks such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, and some cancers
• Sleep Patterns measure regular sleep duration and quality, with irregular patterns indicating potential health risks such as sleep disorders, obesity, and cardiovascular disease
• Nutrition and Diet measure healthy eating habits, with poor nutrition indicating potential health risks such as malnutrition, obesity, and chronic diseases

Mental and Social Indicators of Health

• Mental Health Status measures emotional well-being, with signs of anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues indicating potential health risks such as suicide, substance abuse, and poor physical health
• Social Connection and Support measure social relationships and support networks, with low levels indicating potential health risks such as loneliness, depression, and poor physical health
