Building strength and muscle mass: optimize training & nutrition for longevity (AMA #71 rebroadcast)
What was said
"If you're 25 to 35, it's 1.1 deaths per 100,000. If you're 35 to 45, it's 1.7 deaths per 100,000. 45 to 55, 3.2 deaths, 55 to 65, 5.7 deaths, 65 to 75, 13.2 deaths, 75 to 85, 50 deaths. And by the time you reach 85 and up, it's nearly 200 deaths."
Attia presents stark data showing fall-related mortality follows an exponential curve with age, rising from negligible levels in young adults to catastrophic rates after 85. With 300,000 fall-related hospitalizations annually in the US and 10-30% one-year mortality for those over 60 who suffer femur fractures, he frames muscle strength as essential fall prevention infrastructure.
