简要总结
Posture significantly impacts daily life and physical performance. Poor postural habits and low postural awareness can contribute to musculoskeletal pain, functional impair-ments, and adverse psychological outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the rela-tionships between postural habits and awareness, physical activity, depression, and physical fitness parameters in university students. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 74 healthy university students (15 males, 59 females), aged 18-35 years. Postural habits and awareness were assessed using the Postural Habits and Awareness Scale (PHAS), physical activity with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF), and depression using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Physical fitness parameters included trunk muscle strength (dynamometer), trunk endurance (prone bridge and Sorensen tests), dynamic balance (Y Balance Test), and trunk proprioception (digital inclinometer). Pearson's correlation analysis was used.

主要结局
Postural Habits and Awareness (PHAS scores)
时间窗: 4 months
The Postural Habits and Awareness Scale (PHAS) is a self-reported measure used to assess individuals' postural habits and awareness in daily life, with scores typically ranging from 0 to 100, where higher scores indicate better posture and greater awareness.
