Muscle strength is one of the strongest predictors of all-cause mortality.
In 2018, The Lancet published a study of 8,000+ participants showing that higher grip strength was linked to lower cardiovascular, respiratory, and all-cause mortality — independent of age, body size, or activity levels.
How to apply this:
• Train with compound lifts 2–3x/week
• Eat 1.6–2.2 g protein/kg/day
• Keep mobility and nutrient density high
Strength isn’t just about performance. It’s one of the most powerful levers for long-term health.
