Millions of people die from preventable diseases each year. Active physical examination is the most effective way to reduce deaths. In the face of annual or biannual physical examinations, many people have only thoughts and no action: being too busy to take time, feeling too expensive, and fearing that medical examination is the main reason why many people resist physical examination. To this end, the latest issue of Reader's Digest magazine in the United States has recommended seven simple but potentially life-saving "home medical examinations." You don't need any equipment, and you can complete it in ten minutes. Experts recommend that each family can set up a "My Family Health Day." On this day, the whole family will come together to do these seven checks so that they can monitor and improve each other.
Stepping to reflect the state of the heart
A steady and regular heart beat is the cornerstone of life. Of all stroke cases, 20% are caused by heart rate disorders. It is estimated that about 2.2 million people in the United States have symptoms of atrial fibrillation, and one-third of them have no knowledge of it. Having them understand their physical condition can greatly reduce the occurrence of stroke.
Family check-ups: Place your fingers on the wrist or neck artery, detect your pulse, and follow your pulse for a minute. If the heartbeat is irregular, you will find it difficult to keep up. A large number of scientific studies show that such a simple test can predict up to 90% of atrial fibrillation. If the test result is not satisfactory, you can rest for a while and wait until the breathing heartbeat is stable. If the pace is still difficult to keep up with the heartbeat rhythm, it is best to go to the hospital in time.
Breathing predicts asthma risk
The horrible aspect of asthma, a respiratory system disease, is that it poses unprecedented challenges to the daily lives of patients, and daily exercise may even give these people deadly risks. In the United States, "neglected" asthma causes 1.8 million people into the emergency room every year. A recent survey involving more than 4,000 people showed that 10% of them had undiagnosed asthma. Dr. Paul Enright of the University of Arizona said: "Don't underestimate asthma. It will make your life harder."
Family Health Check: In a study of the respiratory status of nearly 27,000 people, the researchers found that 90% of asthma can be predicted with two questions: 1. Do you feel it is difficult to breathe? 2. Did you experience chest tightness or shortness of breath during your exercise or exertion? "If you answered 'yes' to one or both of these questions, you should pay attention to asthma risk," Dr. Enright said.
Hand detection of anemia
Iron deficiency anemia will reduce immunity, make you feel tired, back pain, blurred vision. The clue to this disease is your palm.
Family medical examination: Spread your palm and see if the palm lines are white. “Whatever your natural complexion is, palm veins or gums and abnormal whitening in the eyelids are all signals that iron deficiency has affected the blood circulation of the subcutaneous capillaries.â€
Dr. von Winkel, of the Texas Health Science Center in the United States. If the palm print is white, it is best to go to the hospital for a blood test.
Two minutes diabetes question and answer
Diabetes, if left untreated, increases the risk of heart disease and shortens the lifespan by 10-15 years. According to a survey conducted by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the early detection rate of diabetes is only 4%. Another 5.7 million people have been living with diabetes and they are unaware of it. Dr. Peng Xijun, of the Public Medicine Department of Weill Cornell Medical College in the United States, said: "You only need to spend two minutes to answer six questions and you can find out how close you are to diabetes."
Family Check: Select your answer and add the score.
1. How old are you? (Below 40 years old: 0 points; 40-49 years old: 1 point; 50-59 years old: 2 points; 60 years old: 3 points)
2. Your gender? (male: 1 point; female: 0 points)
3. Do you have diabetes in your family members (parents or siblings)? (No: 0 points; Yes: 1 point)
4. Do you have high blood pressure or are you on medical treatment for hypertension? (No: 0 points; Yes: 1 point)
5. What is your weight situation? (Normal: 0 points; Overweight: 1 point; Obesity: 2 points; Extreme obesity: 3 points)
6. Do you exercise? (No: 0 points; Yes: -1 points)
If your total score reaches 4 points, you should be alert to the risk of diabetes; if your score is 5 points or higher, it is best to go to the hospital for a blood glucose test.
Extensive exercise detects arteriosclerosis
Healthy blood vessels are as flexible as balloons and regularly expand and contract daily to bring blood to the body. However, factors such as age, weight gain, sedentary conditions, and diabetes can cause arterial plaque formation and the arteries become harder and harder. You don't need complicated medical examinations. Do a little trick to know if your arteries are as soft as stockings or as elastic as old tires. A recent survey showed that the person with the softest body in the seated body flexion test also has the most elastic blood vessels. What is the relationship between the two? Dr. Kenji Yamamoto of the University of North Texas Health Science Center pointed out that the arterial wall, like the muscles of your buttocks and back, consists of smooth muscle cells and connective tissue. Therefore, no matter where it hardens, it will have the same effect on other parts.
Family medical examination: Sitting on the floor, straighten your legs forward, with the toes facing the ceiling at an angle of 90 degrees to the calf. The waist bends forward and the arms extend toward the feet, trying to reach the toes. "If you can't reach your toes, the risk of arteriosclerosis may increase. If you haven't measured your blood pressure in the past year, you'll have to take a measurement now," Yamamoto said.
Waist circumference indicates early death risk
"The longer the belt, the shorter the life expectancy" is definitely not a child's play. Even if you are not overweight, a too large waistline will increase your risk of premature death. Recently, surveys of 360,000 people in nine European countries showed that, even for those who are not overweight, a large waistline will increase the risk of early death of women by 79%, and the risk of early death for men will double. A study conducted by Harvard School of Public Health on more than 40,000 women showed that the waistline ambassadors had a threefold increase in the risk of fatal heart disease.
Family medical examination: Exposed body standing in front of the mirror, with a tape measure around the waist, and then move down until the bottom of the tape measure rests on the hip bone. This is the recommended location of the National Institutes of Health. Don't hold your breath, and don't stretch your tape too tightly. Make a note of your waist size. For men, a waist circumference of more than 94 cm will increase the risk of diabetes and heart disease; a waist circumference of more than 102 cm is considered high risk. For women, 81 cm is a critical point of danger and 89 cm is a high risk threshold.
One minute depression question and answer
Dr. Alex Michel, a psychiatrist at the University of Leicester in the UK, analyzed 41 studies worldwide and found that 50% of the depression was misdiagnosed and missed.
Family Checkups: Researchers at the University of Auckland in New Zealand said that only two simple questions are needed to diagnose 97% of people with depression. 1. During the past month, did you often worry about being unhappy, depressed, or hopeless? 2. In the past month, did you worry about having no interest or reluctance? If you answered "yes" to one or both questions, you should communicate with the psychologist in time.
