Good Posture Protects Health
Does posture affect longevity?
Poor posture is linked to increased risk of falls, pain, and cardiopulmonary decline.
Explanation
Spinal deformities like hyperkyphosis restrict lung capacity, impair balance, and correlate with higher mortality. Forward head posture and rounded shoulders increase fall risk.
Practical Emphasis
Incorporate posture-focused strength work (rows, planks, bridges) and ergonomic awareness.
Action Tip
Prioritize posture exercises and awareness to preserve mobility.
