Science-backed approaches to physical fitness, strength training, and body composition.
Geriatricians have known for decades that gait speed predicts mortality more accurately than most clinical metrics in older adults. The finding extends to younger populations, the effect sizes are large, and almost no clinical practice incorporates the measurement into routine assessment.
