Kids carry a ‘bagful’ of burden - Pune - DNA

Even as a nationwide study revealed that a
majority of schoolchildren face backache and
postural problems owing to excessively heavy
school bags; a recent study conducted by
Pune-based Spinalogy Clinic also gave similar
results.

According to the study carried out among
children aged between 6 and 16 years, 60%
children have complained about back or joint
pain during their last one year of school.
The study was carried out in the last academic year in two prominent city schools, besides evaluating students who attended the clinic for various spine related problems.
Heavy bags was reported to be a major cause
for concern, especially among children in lower classes, i.e. among students of standards II to IV, as the bags weighed more than 40% of the body weight of the children.
