Flexibility can add years to your life, according to a new study. The study has found that individuals with greater body flexibility have a lower risk of premature death. A comprehensive flexibility assessment tool called the Flexitest evaluated the range of motion in 20 different joint movements across seven major joints in the body including the ankles, knees, hips, trunk, wrists, elbows and shoulders to represent an individual’s overall body flexibility. The study, which involved 3,139 middle-aged adults (2,087 men and 1,052 women) between the ages of 46 and 65, found that men in the lowest 10% of flexibility scores had a 21.2% death rate while women with a 2.0% flexibility score had a 15.4% death rate.
