As the saying goes: Ten fingers connect the heart. The human fingers contain many secrets of the human body. Stretch out your finger and ask the scientist to show you the 'palmistry'.
Fingers are indeed inextricably linked to the heart. Scientists from the University of Liverpool in the UK recently discovered for the first time a direct relationship between finger length, age, and heart disease. By looking at the boys' fingers, you can tell if they are at risk of developing heart disease as adults. Scientists at the University of Liverpool came to this conclusion after conducting research on men of different age groups who suffer from heart disease.
Dr. John Manning, the leader of this study, and his colleagues studied 151 male heart disease patients and found that people with relatively long index fingers had onset between the ages of 35 and 80, while those with longer ring fingers had onset between the ages of 58 and 80. They concluded that people with the same or slightly shorter length of their ring and index fingers are more likely to experience a sudden heart attack between the ages of 30 and 40. People with long ring fingers are more likely to suffer from heart disease when they are older.
Dr. Manning believes that this is a major breakthrough in heart disease research, as the ratio of two fingers is determined in the uterus and remains constant throughout life. This means that even if a child's fingers have not yet fully grown, it can be inferred from this that they may develop heart disease in adulthood. Other methods, such as waist to hip ratio, body mass index, etc., are constantly changing and can be influenced by age.
Dr. Manning said, "After using this method to identify children at risk of developing diseases, they should be encouraged to eat low-fat and low salt foods, not smoke, and engage in regular exercise
The difference in finger length ratio is related to the levels of sex hormones in the body, and even the influence and growth of prenatal sex hormones. Men with longer ring fingers have relatively high levels of the sex hormone testosterone propionate in their bodies, which has the effect of preventing heart disease in men. Young heart disease patients with shorter ring fingers have lower levels of testosterone propionate.
Dr. Manning's earlier studies also showed that the finger ratio was related to women's reproductive capacity and the incidence rate of breast cancer, and even to the sexual orientation of men and women. After examining 60 men and 40 women seeking treatment at an infertility clinic, he also found that men with asymmetrical hands secreted fewer sperm. Among them, 12 subjects who hardly secreted sperm had as many as 4 differences in their hands. Dr. Manning said that the degree of asymmetry between the fingers of both hands indicates the amount of sperm produced during each ejaculation. The more asymmetrical the fingers of both hands, the fewer sperm count.
In addition, having the ring finger longer than the index finger still shows musical talent. A survey of musicians from a British symphony orchestra shows that the best performers have significantly longer ring fingers than index fingers compared to others.
