"Predicting Your Lifespan: The Accuracy of At-Home Tests"

TL;DR Summary
At-home tests claiming to predict longevity based on physical abilities have gained popularity, but experts caution against relying on them. Tests like the sitting-rising test, one-legged stance test, and grip strength assessment have been linked to increased risk of mortality in some studies. However, experts warn that these tests may not provide a complete picture of overall health and aging, and caution against older adults attempting them without supervision due to the risk of falls and injury.
