1. A health support method for an individual person, using multi-variate analysis and comprising:

  • providing a support computer to judge a health condition of the individual person according to received health data of the individual person;

    providing a user terminal connected to the support computer via a communication network;

    acquiring, in advance, individual healthy reference data of the individual person while in a healthy state, the reference data comprising a plurality of variables, the variables being related to more than one organ of the body and/or more than one type of measurement;

    determining a single reference space zero point of the individual person from the healthy reference data by running a program embedded in the support computer that subjects the reference data extracted from an individual data storage means to a multivariate analysis, thereby setting the reference space zero point of the individual person;

    storing the reference space zero point in a reference data storage means;

    inputting object data of the individual person while in an unknown state of health, the object data comprising the plurality of variables;

    calculating, as a single number, a multivariate Mahalanobis generalized distance of the object data of the individual person from the reference space zero point of the individual person,forming a judgment about the health condition of the individual person as a function of a magnitude of the Mahalanobis generalized distance between the object data and the reference space zero point, wherein a lesser magnitude of the single number is associated more with a healthy state and a greater magnitude of the single number is associated more with an unhealthy state; and

    outputting the judgment, thereby supporting a health promotion to the individual person.
