  • but it’s highly correlated with health outcomes. Huh, as the article and the other commenter says, I was of the impression that it isn’t as correlated with health outcomes as the medical field once thought. Maybe it’s my high school football and track background, but I feel like I know a lot of people who have hit 2/3/4. I think they’re less of an outlier than people lead on. Like, we had a graduating class of 70 people, and about 7 of them could lift some heavy weight, 6 masculine, one feminine. Of course, I know my podunk public school in rural U.S. isnt a proper microcosm for the world’s population, but I think we should acknowledge that athletic people have some muscle mass on them. Most of the world works in manual labor jobs, so the athleticism of the regular person (outside of the US, which has a known history of a growing obese population) probably isn’t as unmuscular as at least my US perspective would lead me to believe.
