Next time you’re in the clinic try out the following longevity tests:
Longevity Test #1 - Grip Strength
Grip strength is a key indicator of overall muscle function and long-term health. The ideal grip strength is greater than 46 kg for men, while for women it is greater than 31 kg.
Longevity Test #2 - Floor to Stand
The floor to stand test assesses how easily you can rise from the floor using one hand. This movement reflects leg strength, joint mobility and coordination.
Longevity Test #3 - Single-Leg Balance
This test involves standing on one leg and attempting to balance for at least 40 seconds.
