- This simple strength test could predict how long you live
A study of over 5,000 women found that simple signs of muscle strength are linked to a lower risk of death over eight years. The research suggests that staying strong may be a key secret to living longer, especially for older women. Muscle strength indicators like hand grip and standing up from a chair quickly were strongly correlated with longevity.
