A simple movement may reveal more about long-term health than many realize. New research suggests that the ability to sit on the floor and stand back up without assistance is strongly linked to longevity.
The study, published in June 2024 in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, found that this basic movement can predict overall survival and cardiovascular health over the next decade.
Known as the sitting-rising test, it measures strength, balance, flexibility, and coordination all at once. Participants attempt to sit down and stand up without using hands, knees, or other support.
Researchers followed adults ages 46 to 75 and compared test performance with long-term health outcomes. Those with the highest scores had dramatically lower death rates.
