According to a study, an individual's ability to balance on one leg for an extended duration may serve as an indicator of their overall health and aging.
"If you have poor balance, you're at risk of falling, whether or not you're moving. Falls are a severe health risk with serious consequence," said Kenton Kaufman.
The study highlights that good balance, muscle strength, and an efficient walking pattern are crucial for maintaining mobility and independence as we age.
The ability to balance deteriorates faster than strength and gait with age, increasing the associated risks of falling and its consequential health issues.
