What to watch with Cardio Risk Check | Herz-Kreislauf Risiko-Test and menopause?

The Cardio Risk Check (Herz-Kreislauf Risiko-Test) by MyBody-X is a consumer test that typically analyzes blood markers like cholesterol, triglycerides, and inflammation, plus some DNA variants. During menopause, cardiovascular risk increases due to estrogen decline. The test can capture general risk factors but does not specifically account for menopausal changes such as altered fat distribution, vascular stiffness, or hormonal status. Evidence for the predictive power of such consumer tests regarding individual menopause risk is weak to moderate. Many markers have small effect sizes and are not diagnostic. More important are regular medical check-ups (blood pressure, lipid profile, blood glucose) combined with lifestyle factors. The test can serve as a starting point but should not replace professional medical advice. Discuss results with a gynecologist or cardiologist who understands menopause.
