The silver hair tribe not only needs to grow strong, but also prolong health and life and improve quality of life. These must be laid a good foundation before entering old age to reduce the incidence of aging-related diseases. The prevalence rate of dysfunction of hair over 65 in Taiwan is 7.8%, and the initial stage of dysfunction is as high as 50.8%. The weakness may be caused by aging and acute and chronic diseases, and will accelerate the malignancy of the disease and related situations, causing a vicious cycle.

Saratolia is one of the signs of weakness, with the prevalence of saratolia in men at 23.6% and 18.6% in women at 18.6%. Muscle deficiency can cause a decrease in muscle strength, further causing difficulty in physical activity, resulting in insufficient physical activity; it is related to falls, fractures, disability, physiological and mental illnesses, and death.

Body weakness is closely related to the loss of muscle strength. Early signs may appear fatigue, back pain, back pain, low activity, light weight, inexplicably soft legs, unstable walking, etc. If not improved, it may cause severe consequences for long-term lesions in the future. The Dong Foundation recommends three test methods that allow hairdressers over 65 years old to understand their health status by themselves:

1. Weight: Weight reduction that should not be non-planar (not intentional weight reduction) is the initial, simple and direct way to understand their own body shape and health status at home. President Zhan Dingzheng of Zhudong Branch of Taiwan University Hospital said that if a hairdresser over 65 years old loses 5% or 3 kilograms in non-planar situations, you should pay attention to the tendency of weakness or other diseases.

2,   Calf sphere: Don't be afraid that the calf has less subcutaneous fat, which is positively related to the muscle mass, and the measurement is simple. After the age of 65, 1 to 2% of the muscle mass will be lost every year. Zhan Ding said that being too fine is a warning. Normal male calf range is 34 cm, and for women, it is 33 cm. It should be paid attention to if the calf is smaller than the following standard.

Muscles are the largest protein storage in the body. When encountering major injuries, the muscles can be broken down to generate energy, but if the muscles are reduced due to aging or lack of physical activity, it will affect the ability to recover from illness.

3,   From the grip strength, low grip strength is a powerful predictive indicator for patients' presumption poorness, such as longer hospitalization time, insufficient function, poor health-related quality of life and death. A 2019 article published in Age and Ageing pointed out that grip strength has a certain correlation with muscle strength in other parts of the body, so it can be used as a reliable indicator for alternative testing of arm and leg strength.

In addition, compared with high-end instruments formed by body detection, it is also a simple and cheaper detection method. Zhan Chun pointed out that the grip strength for men should be 26 kg, while for women it should be 18 kg. If it is smaller than the following standards, you should pay attention to it.

In addition, a large-scale prospective epidemic study published in Lancet in 2015 even found that for every 5 kg of grip strength, the risk ratio of all-cause mortality is 16% higher and the cardiovascular mortality rate is 17%. However, ordinary families do not have a grip force, so ordinary hairdressers can also use opening bottle bottles, opening cans, or twisting towels. If there is any situation where it cannot be opened or it is very hard and labor-intensive, you should pay attention.

Zhan Zheng reminded that weak and slimming are currently no medicine for treatment. The most effective way is to improve and delay the symptoms through diet and exercise. Disability can be avoided and delayed. Aging is inevitable but can be delayed. Therefore, the way for the silver man to see his age and vitality is to examine his own food quality and sports habits.
