Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to propose a method for measuring the level of health of a subject, with which it is possible: to perform health examination that is non-invasive to the human body and that employs a simple method; to provide highly reliable analysis results having a scientific basis; and to, additionally, provide appropriate solutions to the subject. Another purpose of the present invention is to propose a health-level determining apparatus employing said method and a new business model employing said method. The present invention is a method for measuring the level of health of a subject, including a hair analyzing step (A) for analyzing hair of the subject. It is preferable that the aforementioned hair analyzing step (A) include a step (A-1) for analyzing hair in the occipital region. In addition, it is preferable that the aforementioned hair analyzing step (A) include a step (A-2) for analyzing hair in a site other than the occipital region.

Abstract: The culture insert container has a lower culture container having a bottom portion equipped with a porous membrane and a sidewall, and having an upper insertion fixture having a cylindrical sidewall that is inserted into said lower culture container. The cylindrical sidewall has a land arranged so as to protrude from a top end of the sidewall of the lower culture container at a location such as will cause a top surface of said porous membrane and a bottom end portion of the cylindrical sidewall which is inserted within the lower culture container to be maintained in a noncontacting state. A land is arranged at an outer surface of the cylindrical sidewall so as to cause a constant distance to be maintained between an inner surface of the sidewall of the lower culture container and the outer surface of the cylindrical sidewall.
