New Study Reveals: Cell Phones Are Making Teenagers Hunchbacked
A new syndrome, discovered in a recent study on the effects of cell phones on teenagers, is called "Text Neck." It results from prolonged use of mobile devices, causing curvature of the neck and back in teenagers, which can also lead to headaches and even depression.
These days, many studies are examining the prolonged use of cell phones on teenagers. The findings of a new study, recently published, reveal: prolonged use leads to a new syndrome called "Text Neck." This syndrome is characterized by curvature of the neck and back, and according to experts, the strain exerted on the neck can lead to stiffness, headaches, and even depression.
The neck, which is in a bent position when we use a cell phone, causes the weight of the head, which in a normal position is between four to five kilograms, to feel heavier due to gravity. Bending the head at a 60-degree angle strains the neck as if one is carrying 27 kilograms(!).
Additionally, previous studies indicate that prolonged cell phone use leads to weight gain and attention disorders, with the average person's daily use standing at about three hours.
