What people are saying
Several discussions emphasize the core findings, such as the idea that lower scores on the sitting-rising test correlate significantly with higher mortality risks over time. Comments like 'it's a reasonable predictor of overall health status' and descriptions of the test as 'a predictor of longevity' demonstrate the serious tone participants adopt while discussing the implications for older adults. The use of terms like 'must consider' and references to related studies illustrate both the interest in and perceived significance of the article.
Most discussions reflect a general support of the article's findings, indicating that many see the link between musculoskeletal fitness and mortality as significant.
The discussions exhibit a high level of interest, with many participants eager to share their thoughts and insights about the implications of the findings.
While there is some depth in terms of sharing related studies and personal anecdotes, the overall engagement is moderately deep, with varying levels of expertise discussed.
Many contributors perceive the research as holding considerable importance for health practices and aging, suggesting widespread relevance.
Abstract in brief
- The study examines the link between the ability to sit and rise from the floor (measured by a sitting-rising test or SRT) and overall mortality rates in adults aged 51-80.
- Lower SRT scores indicated higher mortality risk, with a significant correlation between SRT scores and survival trends over a 6.3-year follow-up period.
- The findings suggest that assessing musculoskeletal fitness through simple tests like the SRT can provide useful insights into health outcomes for older adults.

@PronouncedHare Why are you trying to dunk on people for sitting on the floor? It demonstrates they can do it – which funnily enough is a reasonable predictor of overall health status. It’s also normal behaviour in many other cultures. https://t.co/KGNHx0z2bP
Do you know the sitting-rising test (SRT)? In 90's, I proposed SRT as a tool for the assessment of non-aerobic physical fitness. Ability to sit and rise from the floor is scored 0 to 10. For knowing more, read at pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31039614/

The study was done on patients between the ages of 51 and 80. Scores lower than 8 were 2x as likely to die within the next 6 years than patients who scored higher. Overall, each point increase was associated with a 21% decrease in all cause mortality. https://t.co/SXX9cj1a0c

#STUDY claims that musculoskeletal fitness, as assessed by a simple test, can be used to predict death in 51–80-year-olds. As we age, our muscles tend to become weaker combined with a loss of balance means we are increasingly likely to fall. https://t.co/Dh3jrNlnaO #ActiveLife https://t.co/STcmh5suJc

I've seen this used as a test by a few clinicians. It makes sense that you should be able to stand up from the floor with as little help as possible. *Strength & mobility* have carryover beyond the gym. We need these if we're to age well. https://t.co/ETq7oM0Gtk
