  • Poor lower body mobility and coordination has also been associated with an increased risk of mortality. Numerous longevity tests exist, like the sit-to-stand drill, which indicates how long you may live based on how well you score.

The article from MSN discusses a fun and engaging balance test designed to assess an individual's balance, flexibility, and coordination. It highlights the importance of these physical attributes for maintaining mobility and preventing falls, especially as one ages. The test involves standing on one leg, which challenges the body's ability to stabilize itself, and can be made progressively harder by closing one's eyes or tilting the head back. The article explains that such exercises not only help in evaluating one's current physical state but also serve as a form of training to improve these skills. It also touches upon how poor balance can be an early indicator of health issues like neurological conditions or simply the natural decline associated with aging. The piece encourages readers to incorporate balance exercises into their routine to enhance overall physical health and stability.
