That's probably the single strongest association I've seen for any modifiable behavior.

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.

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.
the best predictors for longevity is your cardio respiratory fitness. This is sometimes known as your V2 max. It's how well your body utilizes oxygen during exercise.
One of the best predictors for longevity is your cardio respiratory fitness. This is sometimes known as your V2 max.
In fact, few variables are more strongly correlated.
if we're if we're really talking about this from the lens of Health maximizing Health the data are unambiguous that V2 Max is highly correlated with longevity in a in unlike there are not many variables that are more strongly correlated MH
the data are unambiguous that vo2 max is highly correlated with longevity in a in unlike there are not many variables that are more strongly correlated
the two metrics that are most significantly associated with longevity uh so if we were to stack up every possible known risk factor smoking type 2 diabetes high blood pressure coronary artery disease endstage kidney disease whatever and we were to talk about how much of a hazard ratio do these bring to you in terms of all cause mortality they're they're quite big you know hypertension is about a 20% uh type 2 diabetes is about a 30% increase in mortality smoking is 50% uh increase being weak relative to being strong is about 250% having a very low V2 Max in the bottom 25% of the population versus being in the top 2 and a half% of the population is about 400%
and of course these are not mutually exclusive so why not have remarkable cardiorespiratory Fitness muscle mass and strength y
so essentially like we've talked about this before last podcast we did together right people with the highest cardiorespiratory fitness as measured by V2 max they had a 5year increased life expectancy compared to the lowest people with the lower or lowest cardiorespiratory fitness or the they had a 80% lower allc cause mortality right
Yeah. I think for people um with respect to like why is it important to improve your V2 max you know your cardiorespiratory fitness that being a pretty important marker for longevity and you know for lowering your your risk of death from all causes of mortality right
