As humans, due to our very nature, we may experience some slowdown in our bodies as we age. On the physical side of these delays, of course, strength and loss of balance comes first. While it’s not possible to predict exactly when these effects will occur, scientists discovered a very striking relationship with their latest research.
The new research, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, is simple and involves just one test that anyone can do in humans. increased risk of premature death showed. This test was a simple balance test.
Those who fail the test have a higher rate of premature death:

between the ages of 51-75 between 2008 and 2020 1,702 participants In the research conducted by observing the participants, stand on one leg for 10 seconds put to the test. 20.4% of the participants, 68% of whom were men, failed this test. People were followed up after the test and an interesting result emerged.
Participants who failed the 10-second test on one leg Of them, 17.5% died within 10 years and 7.2% of them died within 7 years. seen. This rate is for those who pass the test. 4.6% was limited to It was seen that the health status of those who failed the test was worse than that of those who passed the test.
Those who failed the test in the results obtained more coronary artery disease, hypertension, diabetes found it. When all the results, along with the gender and age factors, were combined, it was announced that 84% of those who failed the test were more likely to die within the next 10 years. In the study in question, the relationship between this simple test and death could not be fully explained.
