The Relationship between Mobile Phone Addiction and Changes in Spinal Column Angles of Male High School Students with Endomorphic Body Type

The study found that male students with an endomorphic body type who have a higher addiction to smartphones tend to have increased kyphotic, lordotic, and forward head angles. This is concerning, considering adolescents are more sensitive to growth and typically spend much time on their phones. Educating this group on proper smartphone use is essential to avoid potential adverse effects like spinal column abnormalities. The suggested solutions include paying attention to proper posture while sleeping, sitting, walking, and standing and using educational media to study.
