We evaluated the inverse association between age factors and scores from the Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q) and the Problematic Internet Use Questionnaire (PIU-Q) using crude and adjusted linear regression models.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We included 502 health sciences students, 59.2% of whom were women, with a median age of 21 (interquartile range: 19 to 23) years. The prevalence of moderate to severe nomophobia was 59.3%, and the median PIU-Q score was 41 (IQR: 34\u201350). Multivariable linear regression confirmed that younger age was significantly associated with higher severity: students aged 17\u201320 years had higher NMP-Q scores (\u03b2a: 11.0; 5.7 to 16.0) and higher PIU-Q scores (\u03b2a:3.4; 1.0 to 5.8) compared to those over 23 years.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There is a significant inverse association between age and the severity of nomophobia and problematic internet use.
