Men tend to be more susceptible to age-related diseases. As soon attacked by the disease, men are more easily killed than women. On the other hand, women seem better able to handle the disease, so it tends to have higher levels of health than men.

Men are less aware of the symptoms of health problems and more lazy to do the examination to the doctor. Men are very concerned if he considered unhealthy will make it look so weak.

In addition to distance themselves from unhealthy behavior such as sleep deprivation, smoking, drinking alcohol, antisocial behavior and drug use, there are good men also routinely perform basic health checks such as:

1. Blood Sugar

Blood sugar levels considered normal if the score 70-99 mg / dL, with a record measured after fasting or not eating for 8 hours. Blood glucose levels measured 2 hours after meals is said to normal if it ranges between 70-145 mg / dL, whereas if it ignores the range of normal eating schedule is 70-125 mg / dL.

2. Cholesterol

There are three components of blood fats checked the Low Density Cholesterol (LDL) or bad fat, High Density Cholesterol (HDL) or good cholesterol and triglycerides.

The composition of fats in the blood that ideal is as follows:

Total fat is less than 200 mg / dL
LDL (bad) cholesterol below 100 mg / dL
HDL (good cholesterol) above 60 mg / dL
Triglycerides below 150 mg / dL

3. Blood pressure

Interpretation of the results of blood pressure is as follows.

120/80 meaning normal
120/80 - 139/89 means prahipertensi
140/90 - 159/99 means stage 1 hypertension
160/100 to above mean stage 2 hypertension

4. Hemoglobin
Examination of hemoglobin (Hb) or blood red substance conducted to determine the condition of anemia (anemia) and polisistemia (excess red blood cells). Typically, the examination of Hb has become one packet in a complete blood count.

Normal Hb levels at various ages is as follows.
Adult males: 14-18 g / dL
Adult female: 12-16 g / dL
Men over middle age: 12.4 to 16.9 g / dL
Women over middle age: 11.7 to 13.8 g / dL

5. Weight loss
Measurement of body weight is very easy to do, because it only requires the scales tool. A somewhat complicated is calculated relative to the height to get a Body Mass Index (BMI) with the following formula: BMI = (weight / height squared)

Below the mean BMI of 18.4 to underweight or too thin
Mean BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 weight
BMI 25 to 29.9 means overweight or were overweight but not obese

7. Urine tests
Conditions urine can give an idea of ​​the condition of the kidneys and urinary tract. There are at least 100 checks that can be done with urine, but the most commonly used is the degree of acidity (pH), protein content and microbiology.

Normally urine pH ranged from 4.6 to 8.0 and do not contain microbes or blood spots and a variety of proteins. If there are abnormalities in lab test results, then most likely there is a urinary tract infection or an inflammatory reaction in the kidney.
