Add to ORKGWOS: 000404841400003Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the effects of age and Body Mass Index (BMI) on flexibility and balance in individuals aged between 18-80. Methods: Four hundred and four (n=404) individuals were included in the study. Timed Up and Go Test (TUG) and Sit to Stand Test (SST) were used in order to evaluate dynamic balance; Sit and Reach Flexibility Test as well as Lateral Trunk Flexion test were used for flexibility. Results: A correlation was found between age, TUG, SST and flexibility values (p<0.05). There was a correlation in a negative direction between BMI, and right-left trunk flexibility tests. There was a correlation in a positive direction between TUG and SST. Conclusion: The increase in age and BMI ca...
