As someone entering the peak ratbag years, I approve this message because cardio sucks. But I can do three sets of ten reps with black handgrips and sling 50 lb feedbags around like...well, not like they're nothing, but like the livestock won't get fed otherwise. Calcium score of 0 and BP 125/80. The chair thing? I get up five times every ten seconds to chase the cats. The thought of getting on the treadmill is unbearable, though, and besides: I can't find the remote for the DVD player.
Unless I've missed something here (entirely possible), we are seeing that muscle strength is strongly correlated with long life. But that does not necessarily mean that excersize that increases strength will increase life expectancy.
You’re right to make the destination. They prove that strength is a strong predictor of longevity and speculate on mechanisms. This has already been shown though in other studies. What they did was show strength is independent of other confounding factories as a predictor of longevity. It’s a growing accumulation of evidence that strength is the cause.

Peak “ratbag years” made the coffee shoot out of my nose. Thank you
I live to serve.
Wow, that's interesting! Reason to keep up with the trapeze 💪
Unambiguous actionable advice! 💪
