The findings indicate that flexibility is an integral component of health-related physical fitness, with a clear association between flexibility and reduced mortality risk.
Women who scored the lowest on the flexibility test were five times more likely to die prematurely, while men faced a twofold increase in risk.
Flexibility enhances autonomy and mobility, helping older adults perform everyday tasks and reducing the risk of injury, thereby supporting healthier aging.
The study calls attention to flexibility as a crucial factor that influences longevity, emphasizing its relevance for both men and women as they age.
