You voted on it - here it is. I should note that these studies are associative, but that's really the only way we can make some estimations on long term data considering we aren't going to get 50 year randomized controlled trials. So, there's some wiggle room for other factors (confounders) to be the 'real' reason for these wide reaching positive effects. However, researchers can control for some of these potential confounders by performing regression analyses, assuming they have sufficient data on these confounders available. Some of the more common confounders were investigated by the researchers (like physical activity), I simply didn't add them to the video, because they didn't change the outcome. I hope you enjoyed and I'm looking forward to the next one.

Since these supplements and other supplements used to lower homocysteine increase serum methionine and methionine restriction is one of the few proven ways to extend life in many species, I wonder whether these supplements are harming us. So many people are taking them.

This was a great video. I hope you'll get a chance to look at how much is too much. There are countless articles and videos about the importance of exercise and muscle mass and strength, however almost none of the oldest people I've met ever had particularly high muscle mass. It feels like at some point the increase in muscle might become a negative factor, and I've seen some articles that found things like people that run too much or lift weights too much tend to lose some of the benefits of exercise. However for some of these I've met paywalls and haven't been able to find a satisfying answer.

The study "Associations of Muscle Mass and Strength with All-Cause Mortality among US Older Adults" did not do regression analysis of nutrition, stress, or sleep. An alternative explanation of low muscle mass being associated with low lifespan is that muscle is an excess, after the body has taken care of other metabolic requirements and damage repair. A fancy car may be a sign of being rich, but buying a fancy car won't make you rich. It will do the opposite. The study also defined low muscle mass using definitions of sarcopenia. Those who train cardio, body-weight exercise, weight training, and even walking will all not fit this definition, so the study doesn't support Peter's weight training for longevity hypothesis. Weight training may be reducing lifespan, compared to other activities. Low muscle mass wasn't significantly correlated with lower lifespan unless adjusted for BMI. Which could mean fatter people, have lower relative muscle mass. Excess fat is caused by poor nutrition. Poor nutrition causes lower lifespan. Or excess fat is caused by excess toxins, so the body has a place to store them, meaning the fat is good but the toxins are the problem. Or Also the study said that sedentary time was not significantly associated with all cause mortality, meaning exercise does not help longevity at all, according to this study. One proposed explanation in the study is that muscle mass is a metabolic reservoir to withstand disease. An equally likely explanation is that muscle mass is a metabolic sink that causes disease. Or muscle mass is a excess cholesterol sink that wards off disease. This study is the roshak test of studies, in that you can see any explanation you want to see but it isn't prescriptive. If there are any interventions studies that involved specific kinds of exercise on older adults, and measured lifespan, especially if they were placebo controlled, would be interesting to see a video on.

Strength probably really kicks in when you’re in your late 70s and in your 80s. It’s a bit scary how quickly people in this age group lose strength to carry out their normal life. Can you imagine how dispiriting that must be? It’s also self reinforcing. If it’s impossible to walk to the shops (as a for instance) then that’s one avenue of potential useful exercise unavailable. And really there’s a danger of losing access to most types of basic exercise that you should really keep up in order to just carry out basic daily life. So maybe we need to encourage ourselves to go the extra mile on strength. I know that I neglect it. It seems counterintuitive to dwell on strength when day to day aerobic and endurance seem more relevant. But by the time you’re 85, assuming you’re lucky enough to be spared, then strength is top dead centre.

The thing is before 70 or 80 you have enough / excessive strength to do almost anything. When you get below some treshold, you cannot do things. There are also confounding factors relzted to muscle mass, because mm is kind of flamboyant organ not every body decides to have. A lot of things need to be in order to have it. Hormones, dietary protein and micronutrients, physical activity, enough recovery, low/managed stress. So if people go to 70s with those things out of order and also they have no skills/motivation to make them right, this all leads to sooner death.

As I approach 60 I get more and more interested in extending my life. I also believe exercise equals health, and that your physical fitness level IS your health status. In fact, I just moved to Colorado Springs, so that I can pursue all the outdoor sports I love, and incorporate things like trail running and mountain biking into my daily routines. I am also taking about 8 different supplements, including sublingual NMN, TMG, Omega 3, lithium, collagen, Vitamins C & D and Zinc. These are all very safe and may or may not have any benefits, but all are cheaper than heart surgery or even blood pressure medicine. I occasionally take fisetin, berberine, or gotu kola, but these aren't natural and are more like interventions. A lot of this is promoted by crackpots as you say, but we are all slowly dying, and there is nothing crazy about doing what you can to preserve your body for as long as you can.

A friend of my uncles (70) who was very much into mountain biking died recently after a long stay at the hospital (an accident) His heart volume was too big and he could not survive being inactive for several weeks. On the other hand, most of my family members get very old (90 and more) .No one is working out. None of the women is very strong.

In my opinion, the term "all cause mortality" should never be employed in isolation. Clearly, there is never an absolute decrease in mortality. The phrase should only be used in conjunction with the time frame as covered in the research under consideration. No increase in all cause mortality over a 3 month study has completely different implications from no increase over, say, a 3 year study.

@@johnkellett2893 As a math/stats guy, I tend to agree. BUT, as a KZfaq viewer I've learned to be less pedantic about the little details and try to absorb the context and meaning of what's being shared. Also I sometimes need to remind myself that YT is a global village of sorts, and the best communicators are those who can use simpler language and concepts that is easier for things like machine translation. As for ACM...I see it being used everywhere as a stand-in for "risk of you dying from something, somewhere". No end date on that. So I am often shaking my head when someone says, "using X is associated with a 12% decrease in all-cause mortality in men". OK. ACM against what control, and over what time (for starters)? The "control" appears to be the "average guy who lives to 78; the average woman to 82". Or something like that.

Something that might be the unifying factor for all those results is visceral fat (also part of the junk between muscle tissue). Visceral fat itself is a strong independent predictor of ACM. Someone with low muscle mass but normal strength will be less sedentary and potentially leaner (have better quality muscle, lower visceral fat) than someone with large mass/low strength, normal mass/low strength.

Great video Nic, as are all of your videos. First time comment for me so I just want to say this is the best no BS researched and presented channel I have ever found on YT so kudos to you. My experience here.. I am 57 yo been lifting 10 years. I am at an age where most of my similarly aged friends look like 67, and are now showing signs that the walking frame is on the horizon. I look more like a 40 yo or younger, good muscularity, power and strength. I am not a big muscular guy though, just well define and developed muscles, but super strong for my size. My genetics dictate 'chicken legs'. However, my leg muscles are developed, but small. Despite this, I can barbell squat more than anyone at my gym. Younger, bigger legged guys do not come close, and this is the key...strength! I did read a study from Japan (sorry I cannot reference it), that indicated quad strength/mortality correlation, and obviously this points to your comment about falls etc. Maybe I won't live to be 100yo, but I will die standing!

Great nuanced video especially with regards to emphasising stength quality over just bulk. This is especially true of bodybuilders. In a large previous trial male professional bodybuilders had 20 -30% increased risk of mortality when compared to age-matched men likely due to the way they exercised, diet + some anabolic steroids. The other interesting thing is that in a large trial last year, regular people who performed 2 -4 times above the recommended amount of Moderate physical activity (300-600 min/week) had an observed 28-38% lower risk of CVD mortality and 25-27% non-CVD mortality, for an overall 26-31% lower risk of mortality from all causes - this activity was any kind of exercise.

@@mstr293 Most people do. I'd say, most sports require a bit of both, even if a little dominant one way or the other. Even skateboarding which one would think is all lower body. If you dip your board, you have to catch yourself. And of course, your flailing your arms around trying to balance and such. You learn to move your whole body as one. But without a solid upper body, if you DO fall and we all do, then the upper body strength, balance and such definitely comes in to play...firstly, you can catch yourself. Secondly, you can brace your fall (which I've had to do a few times when I did fall off my skateboard). I'm a bit older now but still ride my Penny skateboard around from time to time. It's definitely risky learning to skateboard but once you have it down pretty well, it teaches you not only leg balance, situation awareness, reaction time and such, but it also teaches you how to deal with a split second "oh crap" moment...and oftentimes, you are using your upper body...it usually starts with arm flailing...but if you hit a pebble, your using your upper body for positioning. And if your going down, your bracing (or trying to grab a tree maybe ;). Definitely an overall amazing longevity type sport (I'd say similar to skiing). I think the best part other than helping with balance is that split second reaction training you get when dealing with an actual body-in-danger situation. I know I went a bit off topic...but I did have a family member once go to fall, they tried grabbing the TV and it broke...they managed to be ok, possible by bracing the TV. But honestly, it's not always the pure strength aspect. If you have really good body kinetics, you could grab that TV and know how much pressure and such is needed to not only not break the TV but not pulling it down on yourself and having it break your fall appropriately. I don't feel this is actually fully a strength thing here when it comes to preventing injury, but I do feel the muscle mass protecting against health markers is a real phenomenon and is, to a point, equally as important for falls and such but body awareness is very crucial and that transcends strength.

While your advise may be good for a young person with time to spare, my view is that the "training" aspect of muscle care is far more important than the "bulking" aspect -- especially for those who are very young and just starting out and for those who are fighting against the trials of old-age. The research Nic points to seems to support my view, in that longevity is supported more by trained muscle then by bulked muscle, and either is better as opposed to couch-potato muscle. Additionally, it is my experience that muscle based glucose banking is far more effective in higher repetition exercises like running than in power exercises like lifting; with such perhaps being just based on time.

Why does strength correlate with increased health span? Investigate the mechanism by which increased strength is attained. Mike Mentzer’s High Intensity Training specifically prolongs time between training sessions so that recovery (compensation) is followed by growth (overcompensation). Overcompensation?

That low muscle vs high muscle mass could be simply correlation and not causation. Ie people who have more muscle tend to live a more active lifestyle and tend to look after themselves more than the huge population of people who don’t build muscle.
@Physionic Жыл бұрын
Absolutely. See the pinned comment. One of the variables accounted for was physical activity.
@jan-ck7td Жыл бұрын
The causation can also be the otherway round. Unhealthy people are not able to move a lot and that is why there strength is low. Also after illness the elderly cannot bounce back to where they were, hence sarcopenia. Sometimes this happens even to the younger (long covid etc. )
@pozzarefds Жыл бұрын
Perhaps this is more causation than effect? People with strength muscle mass are much more likely to be exercising, possibly spend more time outside and overall care for their health more. Likewise those with poor strength are more likely sedentary etc.

Great video. I don’t know if you’ve spoken about it at all but I’m curious about you’re take on the longevity/IGF-1 conundrum. It seems centenarians tend to have lower IGF-1 or (like in the case of Ashkenazi Jews) low functioning IGF-1 receptors. But strength training, if I understand it correctly, increases IGF-1 in middle aged and older adults. How do you square these two contradictory factors?

It’s my understanding that fast twitch muscle degrades significantly through senior years, therefore developing more mass through slow twitch training would significantly balance or compensate.

All the studies of longevity in different areas of the world omit the fact that the people continue hard physical work into old age, go to sleep early, eat locally produced food, water. Plus many don't watch television..... it's not just diet...obviously. However length of life is less important than quality, sense of fulfillment, intelligence, even if you go relatively young.

So, it is really strength to weight ratio that is highly correlated with longevity. This is the same as with most sports, where strength to weight ratio is highly correlated to sports performance.
@edwinhermanson8842 7 ай бұрын
Is it having the muscle mass or is it the journey it takes to aquire the muscle mass that is helpful. Id think both but leaning towards the journey.

Cool. I’m 76 and walk to the grocery story and when I’m carrying bags of groceries I pump them all the way up over my head or curl them. Besides fixing my shoulders I’m just good all over. Good to know it matters, guess I’ll increase weight or reps.

I don't think its length of lifespan we should be aiming for, i think its quality of life. I don't want to live till i'm over a hundred if the last 30 years is spent in pain or heavily dependant on medication all the while preying for death. The way i see it, the longer i live the more i'll have to depend on Drs and big pharma if i'm weak, feeble minded and unhealthy.

But that means gym goers, power lifters, would live longer which is totally not true. In fact it's little old ladies that live longest. Blue zone countries also just live longer, maybe due to a low calorie diet full of vegetables. They walk a lot. Maybe tai chi in the east.

If muscle strength is more relevant than overall muscle mass, can I conclude (as a woman over 50) that doing resistance exercise of any kind (I do reformer pilates) is equally as good a form of exercise as weight training? I have not been able to really find the answer to this. I do pilates (to avoid injury + I don't like a bulky look) but if my conclusion is wrong and I should be lifting heavy weights instead as I age, I would love to know this. Also, how do you know if you have sufficient muscle strength for your age to prevent unfavorable health outcomes? Is there a "gold standard" table to look at? I'd love your views, please. Thank you 🙏🏻
