Why muscles are an organ of longevity and how to preserve them | By Kristina Verdilhão

Portugal has an average life expectancy of 82.5 years, but only 59.6 years of healthy life, meaning over 20 years lived with limitations. The article explains that muscles are fundamental for longevity, as they are metabolically active and help regulate blood sugar. With aging, muscle mass decreases — from age 70 onwards, approximately 1% is lost per year — leading to sarcopenia, associated with falls, fractures, and loss of autonomy. Studies show that even very elderly people can significantly increase strength with resistance training. The article proposes a simple test (standing up and sitting down five times without using hands in under 15 seconds) and recommends strength exercises at least twice a week, or three times for those over 65.
