>> Prolong your life by increasing your muscle power.
This seems like a hasty conclusion to me. The researchers found a correlation between muscle power and low mortality rates, not a causation. It could be, for example, that people with generally low health levels have lower muscle power and also higher mortality rates. The study does not provide evidence that people who improve their muscle power live longer, merely that people who already have high muscle power will live longer.
