Is Cardio Risk Check useful for Darmgesundheit?

The Cardio Risk Check is primarily designed for cardiovascular risk assessment, measuring standard parameters like lipids (cholesterol, triglycerides) and inflammatory markers (e.g., hs-CRP). It is not directly useful for gut health because it lacks specific gut markers such as calprotectin, zonulin, or microbiome analysis. An indirect link exists only via inflammation: chronic gut conditions may elevate hs-CRP, but this is non-specific. For evaluating gut health, a dedicated stool test (e.g., microbiome, digestive function, inflammation, and permeability markers) is recommended. The Cardio Risk Check does not provide actionable data on gut flora or barrier integrity. The evidence for its usefulness in gut health is therefore 'practice/marketing' – no validated studies support this application.
