Britons lack a worrying amount of information about their own personal health including blood types, BMI and heart rates, according to a survey. It also emerged one-third held off contacting their GP for fear of overburdening the NHS.
The poll of 2,000 adults revealed many were unable to identify key metrics for looking after their health. Just 37 per cent were very confident they could name their own blood type, while only 24 per cent knew what their BMI was.
