Muscle strengthening lowers risk of death from all causes, study shows
- llampx 5y agoAre testosterone supplements or growth hormone supplements a life-enhancer in old age, especially for men? I hate seeing my father get older and frailer and wonder how much difference just boosting his testosterone a bit would help.
- DeWilde 5y agoNot a bad idea, but needs to be done under the guidance of a medical professional and he would need to get on some exercise regiment to get the full benefits of the supplementation.
- datavirtue 5y agoThere is a big difference between older people who sit around watching the news all day and those who practically live at your local YMCA. I strength train with quite a few people in their seventies. Full of energy. The sedentary ones have a laundry list of interactive drugs and only get out when they get carted to one of their weekly doctor visits.

- manwe150 5y agoWith such a small threshold of effect (able to do 30 minutes of lifting per week / not doing anything), are they able to distinguish correlation from causation here?
- rasz 5y ago30 minutes per week might be a easy as 5 minute warmup followed by three sets of 3 max weight bench presses then 5 minute rest, twice a week. This alone is huge and you will see effects in the mirror in 1-2 months. The key is max weight, not aerobic exercises.
- ID1452319 5y agoThis is what I always wonder about these studies. How do you differential people who do regular exercise with those who eat healthy? Clearly there is correlation between those.
