The Money Buffalo video linked on this page discusses preparing financially before retirement; it does not cover BMI, BMR or NCD prevention. The health guidance below points to the relevant public health sources.
BMI can be one input in a health assessment, but it does not diagnose a non-communicable disease (NCD) or predict an individual’s treatment costs. Thailand’s Department of Disease Control (DDC) provides an adult diabetes-risk assessment and information on hypertension. If you are concerned about your risk, use a screening service and consult a health professional. Do not draw a conclusion from a calculator result alone.
Keep health information separate from diagnosis
Use general calculators only to understand basic figures. If you have concerns about weight, blood pressure, blood sugar or cholesterol, ask a doctor or health service and rely on actual test results.
Check preventive services available to you
The National Health Security Office (NHSO) publishes preventive and health-promotion benefits. Available services can vary by entitlement, age group and current announcements. Check with your service provider before making an appointment.
Connect health costs with a realistic financial plan
Track spending on tests, medicines, travel and insurance. Separate services covered by your entitlements from costs you must pay yourself. Read exclusions and coverage terms before buying an insurance policy.
