Why strength matters more after 60
Four numbers worth knowing.
3 to 8%
After 30, we lose up to 3 to 8% of our muscle every decade, and the rate speeds up after 60. It has a name: sarcopenia.

16%
In 140,000 adults across 17 countries, every 5 kg drop in grip strength was linked to a 16% higher risk of early death.

10 to 17%
Just 30 to 60 minutes of strength work a week was linked to a 10 to 17% lower risk of early death, heart disease and cancer.

174%
Adults aged 86 to 96 nearly tripled their strength (up 174%) in just 8 weeks of coached training. It is never too late.

Up to 1 in 3 Canadians over 65 fall each year. Stronger legs and better balance change that.
