2025-08-08 Jan Spörer's Health Data
Quick Explanation of Why I Post All My Health Data Here
I think health data is among the least important data to safeguard.
Research and development of medical technology and pharmaceutics is held back not at last due to strict regulations around data privacy. This is a disgrace, and I still have not heard from anybody a good argument of why people are keeping their health information private. Almost anybody I talk to wants their health data to be held securely – and when I ask them why, people seem to start thinking about this question for the first time in their lives and don’t seem to be able to come up with any specific reason.
So anyway, until proven otherwise, I will keep publishing my health data here.
The clear advantage is – if I ever get into an accident, or forget to bring my medical records to a doctor’s appointment – I can just tell the doctor to open Google and get my health data from my blog.
Ok – I found one good reason to not publish one’s health data – if the data is bad, it might bar you from getting (cheap) health insurance.
Blood Type, Blood Pressure, and Blood Sugar
- Type: B, Rh(D) pos K neg, CcD.ee.
- Can receive blood from Type B and Type O donors
- Can donate to Type B and Type AB recipients
- Rh:
- D antigen (Rh positive)
- Lack of Kell antigen
- Rh phenotype detail (CcD.ee):
- C: Present (C antigen positive)
- c: Present (c antigen positive)
- D: Present (Rh-positive)
- e: Present (e antigen positive)
- E: Absent (E antigen negative, shown by lowercase “e”)
- Type B occurs in approx. 8–9% of the Western population.
- Quite compatible for receiving transfusions – can accept both B+ and O+ blood (which together represent about 45-50% of donors), and the K-negative status eliminates potential complications from Kell antibodies.
-
Blood pressure: My blood pressure is usually in line with healthly baselines, but it could be even better, given my age (30 yo at the time of the last measurement).
- Blood sugar: Is also always ok. Reference: Should be less than 100mg/dL fasted and less than 140mg/dL after eating.
- 2025-11-08: 127mg/dL at 13:50 about 1h after eating.
- Blood pressure
- 2025-04-01: 120/70 blood pressure at 8:26am. Day before: Went to bed at midnight, woke up at 7am, ate hash browns and fried Austrian dumplings/Knödel (unhealthy stuff). Had a slight headache that day.

X-Rays, Imaging, and Long-Haul Flights (for Radiation Load)
2020-07-21 Dental X-Ray (Röntgenbild Gebiss)
Estimated radiation load: 0.02 – 0.2 mSv.
Outcome: Everything ok in the mouth.

2025-12-16 Dental X-Ray (Röntgenbild Gebiss)
Estimated radiation load: 0.02 – 0.2 mSv.
Outcome: Everything ok in the mouth.
2024-11-06 Foot X-Rays (Röntgenbilder Füße)
Radiation load: 0.006 – 0.1 mSv. Likely more like 0.006 mSv or less because a Weight-Bearing Cone Beam CT was used.
Outcome: I ran a marathon that year and had some pain in my feet as a result of my training and the marathon. I thought my feet may have a fracture, but everything turned out to be ok in the feet. The pain went away since then.


Flights (Radiation Load)
- 2025: Multiple flights, longest flight was to Singapore. Radiation load: ~0.03 – 0.05 mSv x 2. Plus the shorter flights.
- 2024: Multiple flights, longest flight was to New York. Radiation load: ~0.03 – 0.08 mSv x 2. Plus the shorter flights.
- 2023: Multiple flights, longest flight was to New York. Radiation load: ~0.03 – 0.08 mSv x 2. Plus the shorter flights.
Diseases & Accidents
- None important to report.
Treatments & Measures
- 2025-11 Lipoprotein A Lp(a) Reduction Measures
- Planning to take L-lysine, L-proline, and vitamine C if the Pauling-Rath hypothesis turns out to be worth a try.
- Considering PCSK9 inhibitors.
- -> No action taken against Lp(a) yet.
A Note on Optimal Levels
- LDL Cholesterol
- Evidence: Large observational studies (like the Denmark General Population Study and Pittsburgh Healthcare System study) consistently find that all-cause mortality is lowest at moderate levels of LDL, typically between $100\text{–}140\text{ mg/dL}$.
- The Paradox: People with naturally very low LDL ($<70\text{ mg/dL}$) in the general population often have higher rates of cancer and infection. While this may be reverse causality (sickness causes low LDL), independent researchers argue that aggressive lowering in healthy elderly people may not yield a net survival benefit.
- HDL Cholesterol
- Verdict: Goldilocks Zone (Not “Higher is Better”).
- The Range: Optimal survival is typically seen with HDL levels between $40\text{–}80\text{ mg/dL}$.
Summary of Lipid Panel
The patient’s cardiovascular profile is highly favorable regarding lifestyle-dependent factors (Triglycerides, LDL, HDL), showing a positive trend in 2025. However, the Lp(a) elevation represents a distinct, independent genetic risk factor that he is currently monitoring but has not yet actively treated.
| Marker | April 01, 2025 | November 11, 2025 | Reference Range | Status (Nov) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total Cholesterol | 232 mg/dl (Elevated) | 188 mg/dl | < 200 mg/dl | Normal |
| LDL (Bad) | 135 mg/dl (Elevated) | 110 mg/dl | < 130 mg/dl | Normal |
| HDL (Good) | 66 mg/dl | 57 mg/dl | > 40 mg/dl | Good |
| LDL/HDL Ratio | 2.0 | 1.9 | < 3 | Excellent |
| Triglycerides | 82 mg/dl | 49 mg/dl | < 200 mg/dl | Excellent |
