Abstract in brief

The study found that poor trunk flexibility is linked to increased arterial stiffening, especially in middle-aged and older adults, while no significant difference was observed in young adults.
Using sit-and-reach tests and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), researchers showed that those with lower flexibility had higher arterial stiffness scores, indicating stiffer arteries.
Flexibility, along with age and other fitness components like cardiorespiratory fitness and muscular strength, independently predicts arterial stiffening, highlighting its potential role in cardiovascular health prevention.
