What was said
"There was actually a recent paper that came out that I thought was really illuminating. They studied over 5,000 women aged I think it was over 60 like 60 to 99 or something and they followed them for 8 years and they found that the people that lived the longest were the strongest."
Dr Shannon Ritchey says a recent paper followed over 5,000 women aged roughly 60+ for eight years. She says it found the strongest participants lived longest, and argues that activity alone may not offer the same protection as maintaining muscle and strength.
