General physical examination can be divided into three types: basic, invasive gastrointestinal examination and advanced imaging examination. Usually, the main ethnic group of physical examination falls between 35 and 65 years old, but when they are young, they can keep healthy through exercise and diet. In addition to exercise and diet, the elderly over 65 should also increase their health checks to track or prevent the occurrence of diseases. Some basic health check tools can be used by everyone at home. As long as they know the basic data, they can check their health!
Habit development trick 1: master blood pressure and health.
Old people often have three highs: hypertension, hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia. Among them, complications related to hypertension include stroke, coronary heart disease, aortic dissection, heart failure and renal failure, which are the main causes of death or disability. As long as the blood pressure can be properly controlled, the occurrence of concurrent diseases can be significantly reduced and delayed.
Get used to the second trick: is your waist fat? Metabolic syndrome depends on it.
According to the data of national health department, waist circumference can not only reflect the amount of abdominal obesity, but also be the key data to judge the probability of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease. Abdominal obese people have a 50% chance of suffering from metabolic syndrome, and if there is abnormal blood pressure, the chance of getting sick is as high as 75%. People with metabolic syndrome are 6 times, 4 times and 3 times more likely to suffer from diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia in the future than the general population.
3 steps to measure waist circumference
Take off the clothes that cover your waist, stand easily, and hang your hands naturally.
The tape measure bypasses the waist, and the height of the tape measure is adjusted to the midpoint between the upper edge of the left and right intestinal bones and the lower edge of the ribs (about 2 cm above the navel). The tape measure is level with the ground, close to the skin and not squeezed.
At the end of the "exhalation", measure the waist circumference.
The third measure to develop habits: being thin is not necessarily healthy, and measuring body fat regularly.
Excessive body fat rate is the main cause of various chronic diseases, which not only affects health, but also may make your body aging ahead of schedule! According to the survey, the body fat is too high (male body fat rate is over 25%, female body fat rate is over 30%), and there are even chronic diseases such as gout, diabetes, hypertension and heart disease. It is easy to find you, which cannot be ignored.
At present, many weight meters on the market combine the function of measuring body fat, which is called "resistance" body fat meter. The two small iron plates above will emit a small amount of current, because the current will be blocked when passing through oil and water, and the body fat meter is used to judge the approximate body fat ratio of the human body. But it is precisely because moisture will affect the numerical value that the measurement error is also large. The following three points are matters needing attention in measuring body fat. Only by reading carefully can we measure health correctly!
1. fasting measurement: after going to the toilet in the morning, before eating breakfast, or 2 hours after dinner, before going to bed. Fasting data is more accurate, just like weighing. It is best to measure at the same time, so that the data has reference value!
2. Weekly average: There are too many inflection points caused by body fat figures. Except for fixed time measurement, the average value is calculated after recording the body fat figure of 1 week, and the correct body fat change can be seen by comparing the average value of the previous week every week.
3. Post-menstrual measurement: Women often have edema a few days before and during menstruation, so they also retain more water in their bodies. They may gain weight but lose body fat, but this is only a temporary change, so it will be more accurate to measure again after menstruation.
