1. What do you think of these results? Can a loss of balance predict risk of death?
I think ability to balance on one leg for some time indicates good neuromuscular health, which increases possibilities of long living.
2. Study authors mentioned that poor balance and musculoskeletal fitness can be linked with frailty in older adults. Can you elaborate on this and how it can relate to mortality?
Balance problems come with varied potential causes. An individual’s balance can be influenced by body systems, such as visual, vestibular, and musculoskeletal. For you to maintain proper balance, you require strong bones, ligaments, and joints, which may be an issue among senior adults in their aging process.
