A few sites were reporting on a new test for predicting how long you have to live. I don't expect many people here will have a problem, so you might want to ask your parents to do this if you're looking for some interesting results.
The aim is to go from a standing position to a sitting position and back, with as little assistance as possible. You lose 1 point for touching/leaning your knees, legs, hands, or arms on the floor. If you wobble on the way up/down, you lose half a point. The best possible score being 10 and the worst 0.
According to the news:A person's score matched well with risk of death. People who scored zero to three were 6.5 times as likely to die during the course of the study, compared to people who scored from 8 to 10. Those who had scores of 3.5 to 5.5 were 3.8 times as likely to die as the high scorers -- and those who scored 6 to 7.4 range were 1.8 times more likely to die than those with the highest scores.
"Just two subjects that scored 10 died in the follow-up of about six years," says Araújo. If someone between the ages of 51 and 80 scores 10, "the chances of being alive in the next six years are quite good," he said.
Obviously it's up to you if you want to take this seriously, but I think it's fair to say if you have significant problems with this, you might want to go for a checkup with your doctor.
