You are approach four times more likely to die in the next ten years if not being able to stand on one foot for ten seconds, versus those who can do so.

I can do this and hold a beer in one hand.

Took the test,

I’m going on 66 this year, and I was able to stand on one leg for the count of 30 seconds and could have kept on going.

I guess I passed my physical, so no need to pay a Dr to tell me I’m healthy.

[CFW]

I have bad ankles and I can still do it, although I am a bit wobbly. Hopefully, I have a few years left.

[Zathras]

Piece of cake!
Of course a year of yoga, three times a week helps!
My instructor specializes in over 55 as falls are a major cause of death in the over 70 group.

20 seconds. Not bad for 92. I quickly figured out to do this on a hard surface and not thick carpet.

My new wife is dragging me to some senior olympic thing with her this summer. She’s the athlete but I’ll give it a try, but I look silly when I run.

In early life it is considered child's play to stand on one leg for hours.

[rolling_stone]

I suppose knee or ankle injuries, amputations, etc, were not taken into account?

[rlmorel]

Okay. How many people, upon reading this tried to stand on one leg?

Raise your hands.

[dinodino]

It’s also positively correlated with failing field sobriety tests…

[PTBAA]

Trying to stand on one leg after reading the article title is a sign of dementia.

[P-Marlowe]

I’m good.

[dead]

I stood up from my chair to give it a shot, tripped over the table leg and almost fell down before I started. Was able to do it for 20 seconds on either leg, but wobbled a bit.

[AppyPappy]

One more Scotch and I’ll try it

[OrangeHoof]

And people who stand on one leg for over 10 seconds while an oncoming train approaches them had an even greater percentage of death. Yay, junk science!

[SkyDancer]

Eyes open or shut?

[bgill]

I couldn’t do that 15 years ago.

[atc23]

I can do this while holding my breath and eating an ice cream sandwich.

Surely I will live forever

[dforest]

I wonder whaat the odds are for those trying to stand on one leg after three covid jabs?

[Nachoman]

I’ve been in physical therapy working on this very thing. Looks like I’m a dead man walking (but not standing on one leg).
