Low SMI was significantly associated with the increased risk of all-cause mortality




muscle mass predictor of longevity in older population

Other studies have shown that low SMI is significantly associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality in studies with a follow-up time of 5 to 10 years (1.28, 95% CI, 1.15–1.44, P<0.001) and more than 10 years (1.25, 95% CI, 1.11–1.42, P<0.001).




here is one showing strength is even more important than muscle mass

this is all covered in "The Barbell Prescription" too.

and its not just longevity but also quality of life.

I think it's probably a combination of the two and training for strictly one or the other is probably a bad idea. Took me a while of nothing but running to figure that out.

The studies you posted show a 25% reduction in mortality based on muscle mass/strength. Mortality benefit to increasing VO2 max is much higher:

Your studies are all comparing people with low muscle mass/strength to the population people with at least normal muscle mass/strength. They don’t study whether there is a benefit to people being stronger or having more muscle mass than a normal healthy person, but I certainly believe there is an added benefit. Is the added benefit as great as going from an average V02 max to above average or elite? I think it's unlikely
