Test Items for Ages 60-79

Test Item	Function
Body Height	It reflects the longitudinal growth of the skeleton.
Body Weight	It is an index that reflects the overall transverse growth of the human body, including girth, width, thickness and weight, and a measurement that reflects the development of the skeleton, muscles, subcutaneous fat and viscera to a certain extent.
Resting Blood Pressure/Heart Rate	Blood pressure includes two indicators: systolic pressure and diastolic pressure. Generally speaking, systolic pressure mainly reflects the stroke volume of the heart during its contraction phase, whereas diastolic pressure mainly reflects the degree of peripheral resistance. Measuring blood pressure is mainly for assessing the functional ability of the cardiovascular system.
Waist Circumference	Waist girth is an easy-to-make measurement that reflects the thickness of subcutaneous fat of the abdomen to a certain extent and, indirectly, the condition of body fat in the human body.
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis	A Bioelectrical Impedance Analyzer is used to obtain body fat percentage and muscle mass data.
2-minute Step Test	It reflects cardiovascular endurance.
Sit-and-reach	It reflects flexibility of the lower limbs.
Back Scratch	It reflects flexibility of the upper limbs.
Handgrip	It reflects the strength of the muscles of the forearm and the hand.
Arm Curl	It reflects muscular endurance of the upper limbs.
Chair Stand	It reflects muscular endurance of the lower limbs.
8-foot Up and Go	It is for assessing neuro-muscular abilities, such as reaction, sensitivity, balance and coordination.
Single Leg Stance Test (Eyes Open)	It is for assessing the coordination ability between proprioception and position sense.
