Everyone wants to know how long they will live and there are many indicators that can show whether someone is thriving or on the decline. But people have yet to develop a magic formula to determine exactly how long someone should expect to live.However‚ a doctor recently featured on the "Today" show says a straightforward test can reveal the likelihood that someone aged 51 to 80 will die in the near future.NBC News medical contributor Dr. Natalie Azar was on the "Today" show on March 8 and demonstrated how to perform the simple “sit to stand test” (aka sit-rising test or SRT) that can help determine the longevity of someone between 51 to 80.The test is pretty simple. Go from standing to sitting cross-legged‚ and then go back to standing without using any parts of your body besides your legs and core to help you get up and down. The test measures multiple longevity factors‚ including heart health‚ balance‚ agility‚ core and leg strength and flexibility.You begin the test with a score of 10 and subtract points on your way up and down for doing the following:Hand used for support: -1 pointKnee used for support: -1 pointForearm used for support: -1 pointOne hand on knee or thigh: -1 pointSide of leg used for support: -1 point None — (@) A 2012 study published by the European Society of Cardiology found a correlation between the SRT score and how long people live. The study was conducted on 2002 people‚ 68% of whom were men‚ who performed the SRT test and were followed by researchers in the coming years. The study found that “Musculoskeletal fitness‚ as assessed by SRT‚ was a significant predictor of mortality in 51–80-year-old subjects.”Those who scored in the lowest range‚ 0 to 3‚ had up to a 6 times greater chance of dying than those in the highest scores (8 to 10). About 40% of those in the 0 to 3 range died within 11 years of the study.Azar distilled the study on "Today‚" saying: "The study found that the lower the score‚ you were seven times more likely to die in the next six years.”"Eight points or higher is what you want‚" Azar said. "As we get older‚ we spend time talking cardiovascular health and aerobic fitness‚ but balance‚ flexibility and agility are also really important‚" she stressed.One should note that the people who scored lowest on the test were the oldest‚ giving them an elevated risk of death.Dr. Greg Hartley‚ Board Certified Geriatric Clinical Specialist and associate professor at the University of Miami‚ told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that we should take the study with a grain of salt. “Frailty‚ strength‚ muscle mass‚ physical performance—those things are all correlated to mortality‚ but I would caution everybody that correlation doesn’t mean causation‚” he said.And of course‚ the test doesn't take into account injuries or disabilities that may make doing the test impossible. But one of the study's authors says that the study is a call to take our mobility seriously.“The more active we are the better we can accommodate stressors‚ the more likely we are to handle something bad that happens down the road‚” Dr. Claudio Gil Araujo‚ told USA Today.This article originally appeared on 3.10.23

Sage Pasch’s unique family situation has attracted a lot of attention recently. The 20-something mother of 2 shared a 6-second TikTok video on September 29 that has been viewed over 33 million times because it shows how hard it can be for young moms to be taken seriously.In the video‚ the young-looking Pasch took her son Nick to the ER after he injured his leg at school. But when the family got to the hospital‚ the doctor couldn’t believe Pasch was his mother. “POV‚ we’re at the ER‚ and the doctor didn’t believe I was the parent‚” she captioned the post.Pasch and her fiancé ‚ Luke Faircloth‚ adopted the teen in 2022 after his parents tragically died two years apart. “Nick was already spending so much time with us‚ so it made sense that we would continue raising him‚” Pasch told Today.com.The couple also has a 17-month-old daughter named Lilith. @coffee4lifesage He really thought i was lying😭 Pasch says that people are often taken aback by her family when they are out in public. "Everybody gets a little confused because my fiancé and I are definitely younger to have a teenager‚" she said. "It can be very frustrating."It may be hard for the young parents to be taken seriously‚ but their story has made a lot of people in a similar situation feel seen. "Omg‚ I feel this. I took my son to the ER‚ and they asked for the guardian. Yes‚ hi‚ that's me‚" Brittany wrote in the comments. "Meee with my teenager at a parent-teacher conference. They think I’m her older sister and say we need to talk with your parents‚" KatMonroy added.

When a couple has their first child‚ they start out with the greatest of intentions and expectations. The child will only eat organic food. They will never watch TV or have screen time and will always stay clean.But soon‚ reality sets in and if they have more kids‚ they'll probably be raised with a lot less attention. As a result‚ first-born kids turn out a bit differently than their younger siblings."Rules are a bit more rigid‚ attention and validation is directed and somewhat excessive‚" Niro Feliciano‚ LCSW‚ a psychotherapist and anxiety specialist‚ told Parents. "As a result‚ firstborns tend to be leaders‚ high achievers‚ people-pleasing‚ rule-following and conscientious‚ several of the qualities that tend to predict success."However‚ it’s not just laziness that makes parents change their M.O. As parents gain experience‚ they learn not to sweat the small stuff and to have a bit more faith in their children.Tova Leigh is a writer and performer who creates funny sketches on TikTok about parenting and feminism. To point out the differences between new and veteran moms she made a series of funny sketches with fellow mom Riona O Connor.In the first video‚ the two mothers deal with fighting children. The new mommy uses a sweet voice and quietly suggests‚ “Oh honey‚ no‚ no fighting‚ sweetie. Gentle hands” to the brawling kids. When that doesn't work‚ the veteran mother screams‚ “We said stop fighting!” @tova_leigh We’re all doing a great job‚ some of us just do it a little louder (or with a hose) 😂 which one are you?! with @rionaoconnor_ #fyp #funny #parenting #momsoftiktok The video must have hit a nerve with parents everywhere because it went viral‚ racking up more than 3 million views. "As a mum of 5… this is 100% accurate‚" Lora Bora wrote in the comments. Kira agreed saying‚ "I got 4…. And I felt this in my soul."While the video was funny‚ it should also provide some comfort to young mothers who feel overwhelmed by the pressure to be perfect. As blogger Constance Hall points out‚ the need to be perfect can rob us of precious time with our kids."We are only half present for them all of the time due to the constant pressure to have everything perfect‚” Hall wrote in a viral Facebook post. “To go to the gym‚ answer that email‚ pay that bill‚ cook that organic kale‚ blend it‚ get it into a patty so no one knows it's kale‚ get to the doctors.... Make the kids lunches cos if you order them again you will be JUDGED!”In the second video‚ the two mothers have very different approaches to making a puree. @tova_leigh We’re all doing a great job‚ some of us just do it with a happy meal 🤪 which one are you? With @rionaoconnor_ #funny #fyp #momlife In a third video‚ the two parents express their Christmas spirit in very different ways. @tova_leigh #ad AD We are all doing a great job‚ some of us just do it with less Christmas spirit 😉 Which one are you?! Did you recognise any of the lines? They are all from our favorite movies available on @SkyTV this Christmas. What's your favorite? With the amazing @rionaoconnor_ TAG A FRIEND #ChristmasOnSky #fyp #funny #momlife #momsontiktok #newmomvsveteranmom #ad Kids grow up fast and if you blink an eye‚ you just may miss it. So regardless if you’re a new mom or a veteran mom‚ take a page out of these mothers’ books‚ relax a bit and have fun being a parent. Your kids will probably forget your vegan kale puree‚ but they’ll always remember the time you spent just being present. This article originally appeared on 05.18.22
