Antiaging Checkup: Age Evaluation of the Lungs

Various ages such as muscle age, blood vessel age, nerve age, hormone age, etc., are measured in medical checkups, especially in antiaging checkups. These ages, which are quantified as ages compared to actual age to evaluate the decline in function due to aging, are easier to understand than specialized measurement results and are also linked to motivation for health. They are used as evaluation methods for various physical functions from the perspective of preventive medicine. Lung age was proposed by the Japanese Respiratory Society for the purpose of recognizing the importance of lung health and the prevention and treatment of respiratory diseases.
