Summary
The video discusses various factors that impact longevity and all-cause mortality. Smoking increases the risk of death by about 40%, while other factors such as high blood pressure, end stage kidney disease, and type 2 diabetes also contribute to increased mortality risk. Low muscle mass and strength are associated with a higher risk of death, while improving these factors can improve longevity. Cardiorespiratory fitness is strongly associated with all-cause mortality, with lower fitness levels leading to higher risk. Aia's rule suggests that discussions about supplements and nutrition should be avoided until certain fitness goals, such as a minimum VO2 max and the ability to dead hang and wall sit, are achieved.
