METHOD FOR EVALUATING PHYSICAL CONDITIONS, METHOD FOR PRESENTING INFORMATION, AND METHOD FOR SCREENING FOR SUBSTANCE CAPABLE OF IMPROVING OR PREVENTING PHYSICAL CONDITIONS
The purpose of the present invention is to provide: a method for evaluating various physical conditions accurately; a method for presenting information utilizing the aforementioned method; and a method of screening for a substance capable of improving or preventing physical conditions. A method for evaluating a physical condition of a subject comprises the steps of: determining the value of an abundance of a skin flora, which is collected from the surface of the skin of the subject, on the surface of the skin or the value of a parameter calculated on the basis of the abundance, wherein the reference values for the correlation between the abundance or the parameter with the physical condition has been produced; and then comparing the value with the reference values.
