What is the flamingo test for aging? How to assess your longevity

According to a 2022 study published in the *British Journal of Sports Medicine*, people aged 51 to 75 who could not balance on one leg for 10 seconds had an 84% higher risk of death from any cause within the next seven years. This finding brought significant attention to the **flamingo test for aging**, a simple yet powerful measure of overall health and longevity. It evaluates static balance, which often declines more rapidly with age than muscle strength or gait speed.
