Health promotion through movement: Examining the correlation between lower extremity flexibility, balance, and demographic factors.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundHealthy aging is a critical aspect of overall health, and maintaining physical function is essential for independence and quality of life. Lower extremity flexibility and balance are vital components of physical function, and demographic factors such as age, gender, and body mass index (BMI) can impact these factors. This study aims to examine the relationship between lower extremity flexibility, balance, and demographic factors to promote healthy aging. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis analytic observational study used a cross-sectional approach. Lower extremity flexibility was measured using the Sit and Reach Test (SRT), balance ability was assessed using the Functional Reach Test (FRT), and demographic factors were collected through self-report.
resultsThe study found significant relationships between: - Age and balance ability (
conclusionPromoting healthy aging requires consideration of lower extremity flexibility, balance, and demographic factors. This study highlights the importance of maintaining flexibility and balance, particularly in older adults and those with higher BMI. Healthcare professionals can use these findings to develop targeted interventions promoting healthy aging.
