The use of medical equipment, including thermometers, scales, blood pressure monitors/cuffs, spirometers, oximeters, and stethoscopes have become standard practice with most medical exams. Whether it’s a yearly check-up or a follow-up diagnostic visit, measuring a patient’s vital signs has become an essential step in ensuring long-term health. In fact, baseline vitals have become a critical tool in determining future health risks including diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and diminished lung function. According to the CDC, nearly 70% of US adults aged 65 or older have high blood pressure.¹ However, high blood pressure doesn’t always correlate with age. About 1 in 25 children and young adults aged 12 to 19 have hypertension, and 1 in 10 have high blood pressure.² Smoking, obesity, alcohol use, and poor diet are added risk factors. Underlying illness could present itself in the form of an unusually elevated heart rate, poor oxygen saturation or unexpected weight loss or weight gain. By simply collecting baseline vitals, physicians are better able to detect subtle changes that may translate to early warning signs, especially when other risk factors are recorded.
