yes.
and to make it more complicated;
... but not the individual person

exactly!
so you have potential to become a pro soon ;-)
its a common game for kids in central europe. cover the eyes and use a clip to close the nose. give food to try and you will have a lot of fun, as they wont be able to tell.
when your kids are young, the older ones might start first ;-)
or in other words,
the process of eating is very complicated. rewarding hormons can not be easily cheated.
e.g. during chewing the odor starts going to the nose which tells you want you eat.
but only after swallowing when smell goes even more back/up the nose it completes the sensation. only thereafter, the food smells and tasts complete. you can try it by eating chocolate. try to spit it out. its not the same.
whine is another good example. this is why the professional tasting of whine looks al strange
actually not only covid but many cold do impair smell.
and i am not sure whether the nerves go directly to the brain stem but rather the hippocampus.
no. these nerves are working together, in a very complicated manner
e.g. olfactory nerves skip the thymus but nerves from the tongue dont
this can happen, e.g.
- head trauma, such as car accidents, when the olfactory nerves get ruptured. interestingly, these are the only nerves that can 'reattach'
or
- common cold. this is usually also not permanent
but arent the most relevant differences determined by the hormon levels (besides other genetic factors)?
or in other words. performing identical training sessions, will have significant different results for men and women.
so i am still not understanding how your groups would be "better" rearranged. it just sounds super complicated and even more unpredictable as constant adjustments would be needed over the years.
i am not sure how you would want to do that. it sounds like the reinvention of the wheel. ;-)
not saying that your approach is wrong. not at all. i am saying that blood/urinary tests arent telling you the full picture.
keep in mind how sensitivity, specificity and pretest probability works. thats all i am saying.
once you learn clinical skills, you will notice how less you are dependent on machines. of course they are helpful tools (for verification or exclusion), but to *operate* them properly, you need to have a "pretest understanding".
its so sad to see that general/family doctors arent working properly anymore. they are not questioning protocols. do not understand complex systems. do not want to think out of the box (even when patients ask for it). and also the link to traditional roots are completely lost.
so sad ...
i would not focus too much on specific blood or urinary values. i know that humans like numbers, but these can be misleading. also, the normal ranges vary between individuals.
also, blood stays well within normal ranges, yet, they are significantly prone to false negative interpretations.
i have also seen patients with "good" blood values, and still having significant pathologies. i remember the head of an cardiac institute, clearly overweight, but flawless vessels.
the idea to do regularly exercise and to eat healthy is clearly a good approach. i would also add the social component. be together with friends and family. enjoy life and stay humble.
have a look on the oldest ppl on earth. they might not have the "best blood" values, neither eat the "best food", yet, they age "slowly" while being in a good social/economical/enviromental setting.
