The handshake revealed the level of aging

A handshake can reveal to us the level of education as well as the speed of aging, even the future of one's health.

>>>Handshake brings pleasure like kissing

According to a new study published in the journal Plos ONE, by way of shaking hands, we can identify health signs such as aging rate, impaired cognitive ability, recovery in hospital. .

Research data were collected by scientists from Warren Sanderson and Serguei Scherbov of Stony Brook University (USA) from a survey of the American Health and Retirement Survey and more than 50 previously published studies.

Researchers say they can identify health status through a handshake

According to the survey, a 65-year-old white woman who has not yet completed the high school program of shaking hands with a 69-year-old woman has graduated from high school. This shows that people with low levels of education will have a faster aging rate than 4 years, equivalent to a high 69-year-old. Explaining this, the researchers believe that highly educated people will have better opportunities to work, access health information and health care than those with low education levels. .

'The handshake strength shows that people with high levels of education will slow aging for several years compared to people with lower levels of education , ' said Scherbov.

In addition, people with weak hands are at risk of premature death, heart disease and psychological problems. However, academic and racial differences analyzed through fists tend to disappear, no longer true when people turn 90 years old.

The study was funded by the European Research Council (ERC) as part of a grant to find new measures to measure aging based on human characteristics, such as life expectancy, health, status disabilities and other anthropological factors.
