JOINT HEALTH: THE LIFESTYLE APPROACH TO MOBILITY AND STRENGTH
UNIQUE TIMES
|October - November 2025
Healthy joints are essential for everyday activities like walking, bending, sitting and standing up. When joint function declines, even simple movements can become difficult, affecting our freedom, and overall quality of life. Sedentary lifestyle coupled with aging, and lack of muscle strength all contribute to reduced joint mobility and increased risk of pain or injury.

A notable study named 'Ability to sit and rise from the floor as a predictor of all-cause mortality', published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology in 2012 introduced the "sitting-rising test" (SRT) as a simple method to assess musculoskeletal fitness. The research found that individuals aged 51-80 who scored poorly on the SRT, struggling to sit down and rise without assistance had a significantly higher risk of mortality over the following six years. Specifically, those with lower scores were up to 5.6 times more likely to die during the study period compared to those who performed the test with minimal support. The study categorically affirms the critical link between joint function and overall health.
It's important to remember that joint health is not just about preventing pain; it's about preserving the ability to move freely and independently. Factors such as regular physical activity, balanced nutrition, adequate sleep, and stress management play pivotal roles in maintaining joint function.
What exactly are our joints?
Joints are the connections between bones that allow movement and provide stability to the body. They are classified into different types based on their range of motion, such as hinge joints (like the knees and elbows), ball-and-socket joints (like the shoulders and hips), and pivot joints (like the neck). Each joint is made up of several key components: cartilage, which cushions the bones; synovial fluid, which lubricates the joint; ligaments, which connect bones and provide stability; and tendons, which attach muscles to bones to enable movement.
