How Old Is Your Body_ Stand On One Leg and Find Out _ by F Perry Wilson, MD MSCE _ Oct, 2024 _ Medium
from Medium DeepDive · host Alan Shore and Denise
A recent study published in PLOS One examined the relationship between age and various physical metrics, including grip strength, knee strength, and balance. The study found a strong correlation between age and the ability to stand on one leg, particularly for the non-dominant leg. This correlation suggests that the time it takes to stand on one leg may serve as a good indicator of physical aging, although more research is needed to confirm this. A separate study published in Nature Aging found that significant changes in body chemistry occur at ages 44 and 60, potentially contributing to age-related decline.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/medium-deepdive--6355256/support.
