The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
These figures show the power of muscle mass, muscle size, and cardiorespiratory fitness (measured by VO2 max) in reducing all-cause mortality (ACM). LMM = Low muscle mass LMS = Low muscle strength Source: https://t.co/W8PVvxLNGa https://t.co/NWVA2RsIN1
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
there's no ambiguity about the fact that more muscle means a longer life it it's you know it's as it's as clear as high VO2 max means a longer life
The evidence is clear: more muscle lowers mortality risk, while less muscle and a higher fat mass increases it.
so higher muscle mass is associated with a 30% lower all cause mortality
