Health and work environment profile 50, 55, 60, 65 years

Uppsala University offers a health profile to those who turn 50, 55, 60 and 65 years old. The service provides you with a comprehensive picture of your health situation.

What the position entails 

The year you turn 50, 55, 60 or 65, you will be offered to book an appointment with Falck for a health profile. The offer is valid for one year from the date the offer is sent. You can only book after you have been offered this.

Follow-up of any abnormal test results is normally done by another healthcare provider, and is not paid for by Uppsala University. Sampling of, for example, thyroid hormone, PSA and any allergy tests is not included.  

How it works 

  1. Request serviceWhen you have ordered a health and work environment profile 50, 55, 60, 65, you will receive an email with login details for a health questionnaire that you fill out before your visit. 
  2. Health surveyThe survey is based on different question blocks with validated questions that revolve around factors that are possible for you to influence, such as diet, exercise, alcohol, tobacco, sleep and stress, as well as issues that the employer can influence in the organizational and social work environment.  
  3. Visit to an occupational health nurseThe answers to the questionnaire will be the starting point for the health conversation with the occupational health nurse, where  you will take a fitness test and take samples for blood pressure, BMI, waist circumference, glucose and cholesterol. The visit takes 50 minutes and results in a summarized action plan going forward.
