Be stronger to live longer.
A new analysis of 1,890 “oldest old” individuals (aged 90+) across 28 countries found:
- Handgrip strength was inversely related to all-cause mortality over 4.2 years (mean follow-up)
- Those in the 10th percentile for strength had 27% higher mortality risk
- Those in the 90th percentile had 31% lower mortality risk
Improving muscle strength - even in the oldest old - could boost life expectancy.
