Creator description · original language
If you're over 50 and nobody has ever talked to you about your thigh muscle, this might be the most important thing you watch today.
A British Medical Journal study of nearly 3,000 adults found that thigh size independently predicted heart disease and early death - and a follow-up analysis of 2.5 million people confirmed it. It has nothing to do with weight or cholesterol. It's about the muscle that's quietly doing the work of keeping you alive.
