Take the ‘stand-up test’2 now to check if you are at risk
Cross your arms and place them in front of your chest
Stand up from a seated position on one leg
Hold it for 3 seconds
Words of caution
- Be careful not to strain or injure yourself.
- Stop challenge immediately if your knees start to hurt.
- Don’t lean back to gain momentum or you may topple backwards.
- Do the test when you have a friend or family member around to support you.
- Do not try the test if you have had a recent fall or injury.

Think you can do better?
If you are in your 40s or 50s, you should be on “high alert” because starting from your 40s, you can naturally lose up to 8% of muscle every decade, and after 70 that rate almost doubles to 15%!4
Low muscle mass contributes to frailty, increasing your risk of falls, immobility, hospitalization, disability and even death.
The good news is, while ageing is a natural process, the loss of muscle mass is not.
