Summary

This study looked at 180 young adults to see if the ratio of index to ring finger length (2D:4D) — a marker of prenatal hormone exposure — differs between people with and without joint hypermobility (being double-jointed). Researchers measured finger lengths and joint flexibility using the Beighton score. The goal was to better understand whether hormones before birth influence joint looseness.
