Simple test can predict mortality

A Brazilian study showed that a simple sitting and standing test may be an accurate predictor of whether a person will die an early death.

While the majority of subjects who died scored low on the physical challenge, only 7.9 percent of the total study pool passed away. Still, the numbers were still great enough to be statically significant -- but just because you can't stand up on your own doesn't mean you should fear the Grim Reaper is about to call.
