But from most of what I have been reading up on the last several years and some podcast on fitness I like to listen to like Andrew Huberman (who has a ton of great guests on his show), maintaining muscle mass is the most important thing you can do to extend your life.
Combine it with cardio and you will get even more benefit. I think VO2 max might even have been the next key ingredient to longevity.

I’d be surprised if this specifically was the key.
Women live much longer than men on average and they have a lot less muscle mass than we do. I know there are other variables that play a role in life expectancy but still..
