Kado: Posture, muscle power, and bone density as predictors of healthy aging
Many physical signs of aging once thought inevitable may be avoidable through proactive movement and strength training. High-intensity exercise can build measurable muscle even in the ninth decade of life, lowering the chance of falls and serious injury. Posture, bone density, and muscle power together may predict long-term health more reliably than any single supplement or hormone marketed for longevity.
