Celina Lim of the UK National Health Service, Selina Lim, told Metro that at a age of 60, the ability to stand for 30 seconds without pillars can testify to good physical health.
According to the expert, the balance of the body is decreasing as one of the first to aging the body.
"After the age of 65, many people find it difficult to maintain balance for a few seconds, and it is connected to the risk growth, the growth of the loss of independence," Lim said.
To check this, the specialist asked people to put their hands on the thighs and stand on one foot. According to the British National Health Service, the average person aged 18 to 39 can keep this position for 43 seconds, 40-49 years old, and 50-59 years old, 37 seconds. This figure decreases for 30 seconds for 60-69 years old for 18 seconds, for 70-79 years old, and five seconds, after 80 years.
Lim explained that stability in this position depends on muscles, the state of the nervous system and the level of common physical activity. If the balance is bad, this can be a reason to pay extra attention to physical fitness. The specialist also advised to train regularly to maintain balance and maintain physical activity to reduce age risks.
