I just listened on YouTube to one of Peter Attia’s podcasts (below).

He talks about one’s relative strength and VO2 max for their age and gender and how they translate to one’s mortality. He mentions several proxies for health, in terms of strength AND cardio (VO2 max), which I quickly jotted down:

1. VO2 max in the 75% range

2. Length of time one can dead hang from a bar

3. Length of time spent in an air squat at 90 degrees ( )

4. Deadlift bodyweight for 10 reps

5. Farmers carry 1/2 bodyweight in each hand

Of course, all would be adjusted for age and gender. He mentions 11 tests, so he may not have mentioned them all, but the difference of being in the lowest 25% to the 50-75% in these tests is huge in terms of one’s mortality. Let alone being in the elite (top 2.5%)
