In plain English

People who do strength training like lifting weights may live longer because studies show they’re less likely to die from any cause compared to those who don’t.

What the research says

1 study

  1. Study: Strength Through Science: A Comprehensive Look at Resistance Training and Protein Intake in Muscle Development

    This study shows that lifting weights helps build muscle and stay strong, and it also says that people who lift weights tend to live longer — which matches what the claim says.
