A study found that about one-fifth of people aged 51-75 are unable to stand on one leg for 10 seconds. The older the person, the higher the likelihood of not being able to perform this action.
Moreover, those who cannot stand on one leg for 10 seconds are more likely to suffer from hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. After accounting for other possible influencing factors, researchers found that those who failed to stand on one leg for 10 seconds had an 84% increased risk of all-cause mortality over the next decade.
The normal heart rate range for adults is 60-100 beats per minute. Increasing research suggests that a heart rate between 50-80 beats per minute is healthier. Compared to those with a heart rate of 50-80 beats per minute, those with a heart rate exceeding 80 beats per minute are more likely to develop cardiovascular diseases.
To maintain a stable heart rate, it is important to manage stress, avoid prolonged tension, reduce consumption of strong tea, coffee, and alcohol, ensure adequate sleep, and engage in moderate exercise.
