We were interested in whether there are gender differences in spinal curvature among university students with a predominantly sedentary lifestyle.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n<jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>20 sedentary female (age 20 \u00b1 0.73 years) and 39 sedentary male university students (age 20 \u00b1 1.08 years) participated in this study. Their thoracic and lumbar curvatures were assessed while standing and sitting using a Spinal Mouse.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>In standing, 80.0% of the females and 69.2% of the males had a neutral position of the thoracic spine (33.25\u00b0 and 35.33\u00b0, respectively). However, more males, 30.8%, than females, 10.0%, had hyperkyphosis (54.27\u00b0 and 47.0\u00b0, respectively). Hypokyphosis was found in 10.0% of the females (18.50\u00b0) and none in the males. Similarly, 90.0% of the females and 97.4% of the males had neutral position of the lumbar spine (-33.11\u00b0 and -29.76\u00b0, respectively). Increased hyperlordosis was found in 10.0% of the females and 2.6% of the males (-41.0\u00b0 and -50.0\u00b0, respectively). Hypolordosis was not detected in either females or males. In sitting, on the other hand, 70.0% of the females and only 33.3% of the males had a neutral position of the thoracic spine (30.20\u00b0 and 30.62\u00b0, respectively). Increased hyperkyphosis was found in 46.2% of the males (59.76\u00b0) and none of the females. 30.0% of the females and 23.1% of the males had light hypokyphosis (47.50\u00b0 and 46.67\u00b0, respectively). Similarly, 70.0% of the females and only 38.5% of the males had a neutral position of the lumbar spine (7.0\u00b0 and 6.6\u00b0, respectively). 35.9% of the males and only 5.0% of the females had a light hypokyphosis (16.14\u00b0 and 16.0\u00b0, respectively). Slightly increased hyperkyphosis was identified in 25.6% of the males and 25.0% of the females (23.9\u00b0 and 22.5\u00b0, respectively).<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n<jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>There are significant gender differences in spinal curvature. While in the thoracic spine it was to the detriment of the males when both standing and sitting, in the lumbar spine it is related to the females only when standing. It is therefore necessary to eliminate these spinal deviations in young adults induced by prolonged sitting during university courses by appropriate recovery modalities.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0288553","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,5]],"date-time":"2023-12-05T18:23:25Z","timestamp":1701800605000},"page":"e0288553","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Sedentary lifestyle of university students is detrimental to the thoracic spine in men and to the lumbar spine in women"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2679-553X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Alena","family":"Cepkov\u00e1","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0938-5691","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Erika","family":"Zemkov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"\u013dubom\u00edr","family":"\u0160oo\u0161","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mari\u00e1n","family":"Uva\u010dek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 M.","family":"Muyor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"pone.0288553.ref001","unstructured":"Liba J, Bukov\u00e1 A.
