The sitting-rising test shot to prominence in the UK after the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ programme How to Stay Young promoted it as a simple life-expectancy test. Proponents of the sitting-rising test have claimed it can predict how long you might live. Dr Margaret McCartney takes a look at the evidence and talks to Dr Mark Porter about whether it works.
