Can you pass the Sit-to-Stand Test??
For each part of the test, (sitting down & standing up), you get five points. Deduct a point every time you touch anything but your feet/hips on the ground. Each time you use a hand, knee, thigh, elbow or forearm, deduct one point. This test used data from people 51 through 80. A perfect score is 10, but a score of less than 8 was associated with a death rate 2-5 times higher over a 6-year period in both men and women.
