Comparison of effective health ages between the sophisticated model for researchers and simplified model for patients using GH-Method: math-physical medicine (No. 323)

Abstract

Gerald C. Hsu

This is the fourth article the author has written regarding the subject of effective health age (“Health Age”) related to the medical branch of geriatrics. Originally, he used his metabolism indexes data which were collected and processed via a sophisticated software for researchers. Later, he developed a simplified APP on the iPhone for other patients. This specific article discusses the differences of health input data and output results based on metabolism indexes and estimated health ages between these two different software versions. A comparison study between the difference of estimated health ages by using two different computer software versions was completed. The finding indicates that the complex metabolism model of his chronic software version would gain an extra 1.4% of accuracy on estimating his health age when compared to the simplified APP version. The author is not a fortune teller who uses a crystal ball to predict his or other people’s future life expectancy. Rather, he is a scientist who applies solid and sophisticated scientific techniques, such as math-physical medicine with biomedical evidence, to develop a simple arithmetical formula which can serve as a useful tool for the general population to maintain their health and achieve their desired longevity.
