Abstract

Purpose: To investigate the effects of age, height, weight, body mass index (BMI) and gender on adolescent posture. Methods: Five-hundred and thirty-one participants (220 girls and 311 boys) were included in our study. After demographic data (age, height, weight and BMI) were recorded, posture was assessed by New York Posture Rating Chart (NYPR) which consist of 13 questions and total posture scores were obtained. Pearson correlation test was used to analyze the relationship between NYPR scores and demographic data. The Independent t test was used to compare NYPR scores of boys and girls Results: A significant negative correlation was found between postural scores and age, weight and BMI of participants (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in NYPR postural scores between boys and girls (p=0.167). In intragroup assessment of girls and boys, there was a significant negative correlation between postural scores and demographic parameters except BMI for girls (p<0.05) whereas no significant correlation was detected for boys (p>0.05). Conclusion: Posture becomes worse as the age increases in early adolescence. Gender is not a parameter affecting posture in this period. The posture of girls is negatively affected from increased demographic measures except BMI whereas posture of boys is not affected from demographic parameters.

Özet

Amaç: Yaşın, boy uzunluğunun, vücut ağırlığının, vücut kütle indeksinin ve cinsiyetin adölesan postürü üzerine etkisini incelemektir. Yöntem: Çalışmamızda 531 katılımcı (220 kız ve 311 erkek) yer almaktadır. Demografik verilerin (yaş, boy uzunluğu, vücut ağırlığı ve vücut kütle indeksi (VKİ) alınmasının ardından, postür 13 soruluk New York Postür Skalası (NYPS) ile değerlendirildi ve total postür skorları elde edildi. Pearson korelasyon testi NYPS skoru ile demografik veriler arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemekte kullanıldı. Bağımsız T testi, kız ve erkek bireylerin NYPS skorlarının karşılaştırılması amacıyla kullanıldı. Bulgular: Bireylerin postür skorları ile yaş, vücut ağırlığı ve VKİ arasında anlamlı düzeyde negatif bir korelasyon saptandı (p<0.05). Kızlar ve erkekler arasında NYPS arasında anlamlı düzeyde herhangi bir fark belirlenmedi (p=0.167). Kızlarda postüral skorlar ile VKİ hariç demografik parametreler arasında negatif korelasyon saptanırken (p<0.05), erkek bireylerde bu parametreler arasında korelasyon bulunmadı (p>0.05). Sonuç: Erken adölesan dönemde yaş ilerledikçe postür kötüleşmektedir. Bu dönemde cinsiyet postürü etkileyen bir parametre olarak görülmemektedir. Erkeklerin postürü demografik parametrelerden etkilenmemekteyken, kızların postürü VKİ hariç artan demografik değerlerin artışından negatif yönde etkilenmektedir.
