The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines biometric health screenings as the measurement of physical characteristics such as height, weight, BMI, blood pressure, blood cholesterol, blood glucose, and aerobic fitness that can be taken at the worksite and used as a standalone or part of a workplace health assessment to benchmark and evaluate changes in employee health stats over time. The goal of implementing biometric screenings is to reduce health risks, improve health status, reduce health care costs, and improve the productivity and performance of the workforce.
