10 years before death, the body may be signaling long ago! 4 indicators may suggest the length of life
We are aging every day, and the final outcome is death.
Thomas Jefferson from the United States once wrote in a letter to old John Adams: "Our body has been running like a machine for seventy or eighty years, and it can be imagined that it will be damaged, axles, wheels, gears, springs. There may be failures one after another, and although they can be temporarily repaired, they will eventually stop working.”
But you know that 10 years before death, the body has some signals. We can prevent and delay aging to a certain extent.
1. 10 years before death, the body has a signal
A study published in the British Medical Journal showed that people start around the age of 65 with a decline in physical function and an increased risk of death.
The testers received three motor function assessments from 2007 to 2016. After measuring walking speed, sitting and standing ability, and daily activities, it was found that the sitting and standing ability, grip strength, and walking speed would increase by 14%, 15%, and 15%, respectively. 22% risk of death, and these differences increase steadily 4-10 years before death.
Two, four indicators, or imply the length of life
The following four indicators may imply the length of lifespan, especially as the age increases, the association will become more and more obvious.
1. Walking speed
Song Yuetao, director of the Geriatric Health and Medical Care Integration Research Office of Beijing Geriatrics Hospital, pointed out that walking speed can predict the length of life. People who walk fast have better cardiopulmonary function. Therefore, if you find that your walking speed is significantly slower, you should seek medical attention in time.
2. Sit-stand ability
Chen Fakui, director of the Physical Examination Center of Nanjing Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, pointed out that the squat movement while sitting and standing can test the flexibility of the joints and ligaments of the lower limbs and the health of the joints. Sitting cross-legged may test the health of the lumbar spine, and the entire sitting and standing movement can also be tested. Physical coordination and balance, people with good sitting and standing ability are more likely to live longer.
3. Daily activities
Daily activities can reflect the self-care ability of the elderly. If daily activities are difficult and limited, it may be sarcopenia. Elderly people with sarcopenia have poor coping abilities and may lead to a shortened life span.
4. Grip strength
The Lancet once published a study that found that for every 5 kg of grip strength lost, the risk of death increased by 16%, and the risk of heart disease and stroke increased by 7% and 9%. Dong Peng, chief physician of the Department of Cardiology of the Aviation General Hospital, pointed out that the strength of the grip can measure the condition of the heart. Generally, the qualified grip strength of men around the age of 40 should be 43-50 kg, and that of women should be 27-31 kg.
3. If you want to live a long life, remember 3 points
If you want to live a long life, doing the following three things may help.
1. Keep a good attitude
Having a good mentality is beneficial to prolonging life. According to the survey of the Chinese Gerontology Society, 60% of the many reasons for longevity of the elderly are related to themselves, and mentality is very important.
2. Participate in social activities
Actively participating in social activities can reduce loneliness and reduce the risk of depression and dementia. Yang Na of the Laboratory of Geriatric Psychology at Beijing Normal University pointed out that regular participation in social activities can enhance the positive emotions of the elderly and promote physical and mental health.
3. Have a purpose in life
Academicians, experts and professors of the Chinese Academy of Engineering pointed out that life has a purpose, and the probability of longevity is relatively high.
Research shows that there will be signs in the body ten years before death, such as walking speed, grip strength, sitting and standing ability, etc. can predict life expectancy. To prolong life, you must have a good attitude, actively participate in social activities, and live a life. There are goals and so on.
