Are there any universal health parameters to monitor that would describe my health with high validity?

No one test: There is no single test that does this. The main thing is how you look and feel. If you are outwardly healthy, weight is proportionate to height, have normal blood pressure, eat a balanced diet, don't smoke, and stay physically active, those are by far the most important indicators of good health.

Biometrics: 80% of US healthcare costs are from lifestyle disease. In short, three behaviors create three numbers which are responsible for 80% of your health. The 3 behaviors are fruit/veggie intake 8 daily, water intake 8 glasses daily, exercise 10k steps daily. Biometrics are weight, blood pressure, blood sugar. A physician developed tracking system can be found www.personalmedicineplus.com use 1000 code
