Everybody wants to how long we are going to live. To answer this question, Brazilian researcher Claudio Gil Araujo and his associates framed a very simple sitting and standing test. This test can forecast days that left to leave for adults aged 51-80. In this post we are going to tell you, how this sit-stand tests work.
1. Stand bare footed in a clear space.
2. Try to lower yourself to a sitting position on floor. Don’t lean on anything while this
3. Now stand back up.
(Try not to use your hands, knees, forearms or sides of your legs while standing up)
Scoring
Points are given on a 1-to-5 scale. One point subtracted for each attempt for using hand and knees while standing up and sitting down and 0.5 points subtracted for loss of balance. This will give 10 point scale. And adults aged 51-80, who score fewer point then 8 are likely to die within a span of 6-8 years.
