Aired on: October 11, 2012

How well are you aging? One of the factors you can test to find out is your balance. "Balance, strength and flexibility are going to be important to prevent falls," explains Dr. Freda Lewis-Hall, chief medical officer at Pfizer. "As you age, one of the really critical issues, for women in particular because they lose bone as they age, is that when you fall, you break, and breaks are not good. Breaks are a leading cause of disability." Watch the video above to see how you can test and improve your balance, and check out Dr. Lewis-Hall's other tests for strength and memory.
