How your muscle strength determines your longevity

Grip, triceps, biceps, and leg strength determine how long you stay mobile, independent, and healthy, while also protecting you from falls and even metabolic diseases.

A strong handshake is a sign of high longevity

There are many physical traits that can reveal insights about your health and longevity. One of the most reliable indicators of a healthy and long life is grip strength. As a reflection of your overall physical strength and musculature, it can provide a snapshot of your body's condition. However, to truly extend your health span, it’s essential to strengthen your entire body—not just your grip.

The strength of your upper body is important for everyday tasks, maintaining good posture, and reducing your risk of injury. Strong lower body strength supports mobility, balance, and decreases the risk of falling. Building your physical strength can have many positive effects: improved overall health, enhanced athletic performance, and a higher quality of life.

Longevity Check-up: assess your physical Strength

For the Longevity Check-up, plan for approximately 5 hours in total. All our check-ups include a measurement of your physical strength—a key indicator of a long, independent life. This part takes about 20 minutes.

Which types of physical strength we measure

Grip strength

Grip strength is considered one of the most reliable indicators of longevity. Strong grip strength is often associated with good cardiovascular health, a healthy metabolism, high bone density, and strong cognitive function. Conversely, weak grip strength can lead to a higher risk of falls, injuries, and reduced independence and mobility.

Triceps strength

Essential for pushing movements, triceps strength plays a key role in functional activities such as getting up from the floor, supporting your body, or breaking a fall. Strong triceps are critical for maintaining mobility, preventing falls, and increasing bone density, which can help ward off conditions like osteoporosis.

Biceps strength

Biceps strength is responsible for pulling movements and helps with carrying objects, pulling up, and stabilizing the body. Together with grip and triceps strength, biceps strength provides valuable insights into upper body function and overall muscle performance.

Leg strength

Leg strength is just as important for longevity as grip strength. It is directly linked to mobility, metabolic health, and fall prevention, making it a key factor in avoiding accidents, especially as you age. Strong legs contribute to better balance, improved cardiovascular health, and a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, as large leg muscles play a significant role in insulin regulation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Longevity Check-ups

At what age do you recommend the Longevity Check-up?

In general, a Longevity Check-up is recommended for anyone over the age of 25. The earlier you know what your individual health risks are, the longer you can benefit from small adjustments. But it is never too late to take charge of your health and optimize it in a targeted way, i.e. even at an advanced age, there is still a lot of potential for optimization.

How long does a Longevity Check-up take?

A Longevity Check-up lasts about 4-5 hours depending on the package chosen. It starts with a 30-45 minute anamnesis interview with one of our doctors, followed by an ECG, blood draw, and Dexa scan. You'll then have a brief snack break before completing the 1.5 hour session with our sports scientist. Afterwards, wearables such as the HRV monitor and the CGM are attached and set up.

What do I need to bring for my Longevity Check-up?

You should arrive fasted (empty stomach, water allowed) and bring your sports clothes for the sports and endurance test. Showers and towels are available.‍

How long does it take to get the results of my check-up?

This depends on the Longevity Check-up you have chosen. The time between the test and receiving your results depends on external laboratories and the time our team of doctors, nutritionists and sports scientists need to evaluate your results. The indicative time is as follows:

  • Essential Longevity Check-up: 1-2 weeks
  • Complete Longevity Check-up: 4-5 weeks (due to the DNA risk analysis)
  • Extended Longevity Check-up: 4-5 weeks (due to the DNA risk analysis and DNA aging clock)

Do I have to come to your clinic to discuss my results?

The discussion of the results usually takes place at our clinic. If you prefer, the conversation can also take place via video conference.

The same applies to the nutrition counseling, which can take place either on-site or via video conference.

What makes you different from other check-ups?

Our focus is not just on identifying diseases at an early stage, but rather on understanding individual predispositions and determining what each individual needs to stay healthy in the long term. We don't look at individual values, but combine all the results into a holistic picture. We collect scientifically validated parameters for Longevity and combine them into a personalized, preventative Longevity Report.

Who performs the Longevity Check-ups?

We are a medical institution, so all check-ups are performed by trained and medically educated personnel. We employ doctors, medical assistants and sports scientists in our clinic.

What is the difference between the Essential Longevity Check-up and the Complete Longevity Check-up?

All our check-ups focus on longevity. The Essential Longevity Check-up contains what we consider to be absolutely necessary for a Longevity Check-up and is suitable for people who want to get a first impression or as a follow-up check-up if you already know your genetic risks.

The Complete Longevity Check-up includes, in addition to further blood values, such as homocysteine, the DNA risk analysis, which we recommend to do once in a lifetime. The DNA risk analysis helps us to make even more targeted recommendations. We only test for those changes for which we know how we can influence them well and specifically. 

In addition, continuous blood sugar monitoring for 10 days is included, with accompanying nutritional counseling for evaluation and interpretation. The blood sugar response to different foods can vary greatly from person to person, which is why these measurements can be used to provide even more targeted nutritional recommendations.

What is the difference between the Complete and Extended Longevity Check-up?

The first difference is the number of laboratory values analyzed. The Complete Longevity Check-up includes 64 laboratory values and the Extended Longevity Check-up 69 laboratory values. In addition, the Extended Longevity Check-up also includes a stress measurement (both during the day and at night) and a DNA aging clock to determine your biological age.

How are the findings evaluated?

Our team of doctors, nutritionists and sports scientists analyze the findings holistically, prioritize and make appropriate recommendations.

We compare the results with comparative values from your age and gender group. Our goal is for our customers to perform significantly better than the average, because the average person develops chronic diseases over the course of their life that significantly affect their quality of life.

Others

Everyone knows what is healthy: exercise, nutrition and sleep. What else do you offer?

That's right, healthy eating, regular exercise and enough sleep are the cornerstones of longevity. General recommendations are certainly suitable for the masses, but when it comes to looking at the individual, many individualized recommendations can be made depending on the individual disposition constellation. Our goal is to achieve the greatest possible health effect for the individual with the least possible effort. To do that, much more precise recommendations are useful and possible.

Can I bring my child with me?

Our services are only available to persons of legal age. However, you are welcome to bring a child with you as a companion. No childcare service is available.

Do you also offer payment by installments?

We're working on standardizing installment payment options in our checkout process. In the meantime, if you'd like to use an installment plan, feel free to give us a call, and we'll find a solution together.
