Methods for self testing men's health status

According to a research report by the World Health Organization, one-third of human diseases can be avoided through preventive healthcare, one-third of diseases can be effectively controlled through early detection, and one-third of diseases can improve treatment effectiveness through effective communication of information. Therefore, it is very important to timely understand and master what diseases or hidden dangers exist in one's body. Because many times, although there is nothing abnormal in the body, there may be latent diseases, such as hyperlipidemia or diabetes, which can be treated in time if found early. Experts suggest that we should undergo comprehensive health check ups regularly. In addition, there are some simple and practical health monitoring methods that allow us to check our physical condition anytime and anywhere, keep track of our health trends, and take corresponding measures in a timely manner.1. "Do not reverse time" - Check the degree of aging. The ability to balance is of great significance in human life. Professor Yamada from Kyoto Prefectural Medical University in Japan has proposed a simple and feasible "simple self testing method for human aging" based on over 30 years of research on human tissues. Specific method: The tester should hang their hands tightly to both sides of their body, close their eyes, stand upright with one foot, and then judge their aging level based on their "not falling time". Judgment criteria: 9.9 seconds, male physiological age is 30-35 years old, female physiological age is 40-49 years old; 8.4 seconds: Male physiological age is 40-49 years old, female physiological age is 50-59 years old; 7.4 seconds: Male physiological age is 50-59 years old, female physiological age is 60-69 years old; 5.8 seconds: Male physiological age is 60-69 years old, female physiological age is 70-79 years old. Those who do not meet the standards tend to age faster, meaning their physiological age is higher than their actual age.2. Waist to Hip Ratio - Testing Fat Index. Waist to hip ratio (WHR) is a simple indicator that reflects the distribution of body fat. The World Health Organization usually uses it to measure whether the human body is obese or healthy. Maintaining an appropriate ratio between hip circumference and waist circumference is of great significance for the physical fitness, health, and lifespan of adults. Many studies have proved that this ratio is closely related to cardiovascular incidence rate. The standard waist to hip ratio is less than 0.8 for males and less than 0.7 for females. According to the criteria recommended by the American College of Sports Medicine in 1997, male WHR>; 0.95 and female WHR>; 0.86 is the waist to hip ratio data with cardiovascular disease risk. Attention, be sure to take a standing posture when measuring.

3. Breath holding time - test lung function. Take a deep breath, hold it for as long as possible, and then exhale slowly for 3 seconds, which is the ideal time. Maximum breath hold, for a 20-year-old person in good health, can last for 90-120 seconds. And for a person over 50 years old, it takes about 30 seconds.

4. Pulse - Test of cardiac function. Add up the 3 pulse counts, subtract 200, and then divide by 10: (pulse A+pulse B+pulse C-200)/10. If the result is 0-3, it means your heart is strong; 3-6 good; 6-9 average heart; 9-12, the heart is not very good; Those above 12 should seek medical attention promptly.

5. Sit ups - test physical strength. The best result for a healthy 20-year-old person to do sit ups in one minute is 45-50 ups and downs; 40-45 times for those aged 30; 35-40 times for those aged 40; 25-30 times for those aged 50; The age of 60 is 15-20 times.

6. Climbing stairs - check physical strength and leg strength. If taking two steps can quickly climb up to five floors, it indicates good health condition; Ascending 5 floors one by one, there is no obvious asthma, and the health condition is good; If you are panting heavily and breathing rapidly, it is a poor type; Climbing up to the third floor and feeling tired and panting means that the body is weak. You should go to the hospital to further investigate the cause and not be careless.
