News:

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for justice: for they shall be filled. Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me. The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works. He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke. I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord. Let sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the Lord, O my soul. Praise ye the Lord.

Falls 🤕 and Mortality; 🧐👍 At-Home Versus 😒 In-Clinic Blood Pressure Measurement

SNIPPET:

These investigators did an observational cohort study over a 10-year period called the Spanish Ambulatory Blood Pressure Registry. Almost 60,000 patients now had clinic blood pressure measurements and ambulatory measurements.

What they discovered was about 12% of the patients died and about a third of those from cardiovascular disease. The ambulatory blood pressure measurement was much better at predicting who would die. In fact, when they compared it to the clinic, it was about 5 times better at informing who was more likely to die. When they looked at daytime ambulatory versus nighttime, the nighttime was about 6 times more effective in informing who might die over that 10-year period.
What about white coat hypertension? It wasn't associated with an increased risk of mortality at all.

New Study Reveals Types of Exercise That Work Best

SNIPPETS:

If your goal is to optimize your cardiovascular health and longevity, more is better for moderate-intensity exercise, but not for vigorous exercise. For high-intensity exercise, optimal benefits plateau at approximately 150 minutes/week. ... ...

Simple Tests to Gauge Your Fitness and Longevity

“Training Strategies” also reviews other aspects of fitness that can give you an idea of your fitness and premature death risk. For example:

👉 One-legged balance test — People who cannot stand on one leg for 10 seconds without losing their balance or having to put the raised foot on the floor have an 84% higher all-cause mortality risk than those who can successfully complete this test.

👉 Autonomous functioning (the sitting-rising test) — This test evaluates the nonaerobic components of physical fitness, such as flexibility, balance, muscle strength and body composition, all of which are important for optimal function and survival.

The test involves lowering yourself onto the floor and then rising back up. Start with a score of 10. As you lower yourself to the floor, subtract one point for each support used, such as a hand, forearm, knee or side of leg. As you rise back up, again subtract one point for each support used. The lower your final score, the higher your all-cause mortality risk.
