Sister Inah Canabarro Lucas dies last week at age 116, the second death in a row at 116 for a "world's oldest person." In fact, that age is somewhat typical for oldest people exiting this world, and it has been for a long, long time, suggesting we're not making any progress on human lifespans. In fact, some researchers say we're probably very close to the limit of what's biologically possible in the field of #longevity.

Weightlifting can mitigate muscle and strength loss in seniors, so they live healthier, not just longer. "According to Statistics Canada, in 2021, Canadians had a life expectancy of 81.6 years, which is an astonishing increase of 24.5 years since 1921. By the year 2050, it is projected that the number of people aged 85 years and older will triple." #weightlifting #health #strength #seniors #sarcopenia #canada #longevity
