I expect all loyal TD'ers to be trying this out this evening.
An inability to stand on one leg in older age is linked to increased risk of earlier death, according to a new study that sheds more light on the association between balance and mortality.
The study, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, found that middle-aged people and senior citizens who are unable to stand on one leg for more than 10 seconds have greater chances of dying in a decade than those who are able to pass the mobility test.
Earlier studies have linked the inability to stand on one leg to a greater risk of stroke, and previous research has also found a link between poor balance in older age and the onset of dementia.
