The method of health self-assessment proposed by Japanese experts

Some simple and practical healthdetectionmethods allow us to constantly monitor our body's health trends and take corresponding measures in a timely manner.

Time Never Counts - Measuring the Degree of Aging Japanese scientists have proposed a simple and easy "human aging self-test method".

The specific method is as follows: the tester hangs their hands down tightly to both sides of the body, closes their eyes, stands on one foot, and then judges their aging level based on the time they maintain a standing posture without falling over.

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.

Waist to Hip Ratio - Measuring Fat Index Waist to Hip Ratio (WHR) is a simple indicator that reflects the distribution of body fat. The standard waist to hip ratio for males is less than 0.8; If the female is less than 0.7, the measurement must be taken in a standing position. According to the standards recommended by the American Academy of Sports Medicine in 1997, a waist to hip ratio of>0.95 for males and>0.86 for females are risk data for cardiovascular disease and should be highly valued.

Breath holding time - measure lung function. Take a deep breath, then hold your breath for as long as possible (about 30 seconds for a person over 50 years old), and slowly exhale.

Pulse - To measure cardiac function, add up three pulse counts, subtract 200, and then divide by 10, which is (pulse A+pulse B+pulse C-200)/10. If the result is 0-3, it indicates strong cardiac function; 3-6 indicates good cardiac function; 6-9 indicates average cardiac function; 9-12 indicates poor cardiac function; If you are 12 or above, you should seek medical treatment promptly.

Sit ups - The optimal number of sit ups for a healthy 30-year-old person in one minute is 40-45; The optimal number of sit ups for a healthy 40 year old person within one minute is 35-40 times; The optimal number of sit ups for a 50 year old healthy person within one minute is 25-30 times; The optimal number of sit ups for a healthy person aged 60 in one minute is 15-20 times.

Climbing stairs - measuring physical and leg strength, such as taking two steps at once and being able to quickly climb 5 floors, indicates good health condition; Ascending 5 floors one by one without obvious wheezing indicates good health; If you are panting or breathing rapidly, it indicates poor health condition; 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.
