This report is presented in a user friendly language and format. The following tips will help you get the best information value out of the report.

**1. The word "likely" is used often in the report. What does it mean?**

People generally know that high cholesterol can lead to heart conditions. However, there are individuals with high cholesterol who do not
develop heart disease. Similarly, smoking can lead to lung disease, but not always. Hence, certain genetic parameters can lead to certain
outcomes but other factors may modify the outcome. "Likely" means, it is more likely that one will see the outcome, but other factors may modify it.

**2. What does the term "average" mean in the report?**

Average implies neither high nor low, rather an intermediate outcome. For example, average likelihood of injury is an intermediate level
between high and low likelihood. Average can also be understood in the context of "Normal" or "Typical" or "Moderate"

**3. How do I know which result is applicable to me?**

Only results with a check mark <i class="positive checkmark icon"></i>, <i class="red exclamation circle icon"></i> and <i class="orange exclamation triangle icon"></i>

to provide a context to your outcome.
