A action indicates longevity!Can't do it in 10 seconds?Then you have to be careful in the next 7 years

With the increase of age, the human body is gradually aging, and the functions of the body have begun to go downhill, especially the balance ability, which will quickly weaken and increase the risk of falling.

On June 21, the top journal "British Medical Journal" published a research report revealed:

The elderly who cannot pass the 10 -second single -legged test test will increase by 84%due to death risk in the next seven years.

01

Over 5 years old age

Discare proportion

Researchers at the Brazilian Sports Medical Center and East Finland University convened 1702 elderly people aged 51-75 for human measurement, clinical, life status, and 10-second single-legged standing test (10sols) data assessment from 2008 to 2020.

Test posture standard:

The subject was asked to stand on a flat table to prevent the subjects from falling or injured. The static balance evaluation process was performed under the supervision of at least one doctor;

And in order to reduce the effects of muscle strength and flexibility and improve the degree of standardization, the test process should put the back side of the unsuitable feet on the back of the calf on the side of the support;

In addition, the subject of the subject still needs to keep the elbow stretching, so that the arms are naturally placed on both sides of the body.

10 seconds single -legged standing test

When the subjects make a standard posture, they start counting for 10 seconds, and there are three opportunities. It can be completed as YES, and it cannot be NO.

The results show:

A total of 348 subjects did not pass the test and were classified as "NO", accounting for 20.4%.

In addition, with each age of 5 years old, the proportion of people who cannot complete the test gradually doubled.

There are 4.7%between 51-55 years old, 8.1%between 56-60 years old, 17.8%between 61-65 years old, 36.8%between 66-70 years old, and 53.6%between 71-75 years old. More than half of people cannot complete.

With the increase of age, the proportion of NO groups has increased significantly

02

Can't stand for 10 seconds

The risk of death in 7 years rose 84%

In the next 7 years of follow -up, the researchers found that 123 of the subjects died, accounting for 7%of the total number;

And the proportion of members of the NO group is significantly greater than yes: 17.5%of people who did not pass the test died, and only 4.6%of the people passed the test.

It is worth mentioning that the researchers also found that the health status of the NO group was poor, and the proportion of diabetes, coronary artery disease, hypertension, abnormal blood lipids, and obesity was high. The incidence rate is more than three times higher than the YES group.

The middle -aged and elderly people who cannot complete the test have a low survival rate within 7 years

As far as the final data is concerned, after considering factors such as age, gender, physical index and clinical disease risk, the researchers analyze the conclusion:

Compared with the subjects who can complete the test, the middle -aged and elderly people who cannot complete the 10 -second single -legged test test have a low survival rate within 7 years, all of which are 84%higher than the risk of death.

03

Single leg standing ability

It indicates whether it is longevity

Just one action can indicate the risk of death in the next 7 years. What is the principle?

In fact, a study of the British "Daily Mail" once mentioned that standing with one -leg closed eyes and standing, to a certain extent, it can remind people whether to live for life.

If you can persist for more than 10 seconds, it means that the body is in a relatively balanced state, indicating that the health is relatively good.

In this regard, Zhu Lili, director of the Society of Elderly Society in Northern China, stated:

Standing with one -leg closing eyes is to maintain the body's focus on one foot support by measuring the balance feeling of the human body and the coordination of systemic muscles, which can reflect the strength of the balance.

This may bring us inspiration. Every middle -aged and elderly people can use this test to combine the results of the medical examination to simply determine whether their physical condition is good. Actively control chronic diseases.
