“…Olszewska and Trzcińska in their studies using photogrammetric method conducted on a group of 353 students aged 8–11 years stated no significant differences between girls and boys in the lumbosacral slope, the thoracolumbar slope, and the upper thoracic slope [35]. Coelho et al assessed the posture of children aged 5 to 14 and also found no statistically significant differences in the parameters characterizing posture of girls and boys [36]. Similar results were obtained by Drzał-Grabiec et al, explaining that the lack of differentiation between a group of boys and girls in body posture may be associated with age (7–9 years), in which the diversity of postures related to sex has not yet occurred [37].…”

“…Discacciati de Lértora et al 1 also point out a relationship between cranio-facial morphology, cephalic posture, and functions such as respiration, deglutition, speech, and voice; these alterations could be explained by posture problems from childhood that were not promptly corrected 18 and became more noticeable in adolescence because of poor posture habits. Noll et al 19 provide an example of this in their study about the prevalence of these bad habits in youth, concluding that only 15.1% adopt a correct posture when writing and 21.5% sit properly at the computer.…”
