Abstract Background A mismatch between school furniture dimensions and anthropometric parameters has been well documented in adolescents, but there is a paucity of data on the impact of these mismatches on the students’ spinal health in Nigeria. This study therefore investigated the relationship of spinal deformities with selected anthropometric parameters and furniture dimensions of adolescents in secondary schools. Methods This study involved 540 apparently healthy students between the ages of 10 and 19 years from 9 public and private secondary schools in Lagos state, Nigeria. The furniture dimensions, anthropometric parameters, and spinal curvature disorders were evaluated using standard protocol. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 20.0 with a level of significance set at p < 0.05. Results Two hundred two (37%) of the participants had abnormal spinal curvatures in varying types and degrees. There was a significant association at p ≤ 0.05 between the presence of spinal deformities and popliteal height to seat height mismatch ( X 2 = 175.67, p = 0.001), hip breadth to seat width mismatch ( X 2 = 293.14, p = 0.00), and shoulder height to backrest height mismatch ( X 2 = 788.16, p = 0.001). Conclusion Anthropometric parameters to furniture dimensions mismatch are significantly associated with the presence of spinal deformities among the students. The main cause of mismatch is using a homogeneous size of furniture for all students in addition to non-consideration of the students’ dimensions during furniture manufacturing.
背景学校家具尺寸和人体测量参数之间的不匹配已经在青少年中得到了很好的记录，但在尼日利亚，这些不匹配对学生脊柱健康的影响的数据缺乏。因此，本研究调查了中学青少年脊柱畸形与选定的人体测量参数和家具尺寸的关系。方法选取尼日利亚拉各斯州9所公立和私立中学540名10 ~ 19岁的健康学生为研究对象。使用标准方案评估家具尺寸、人体测量参数和脊柱弯曲障碍。数据分析使用SPSS 20.0版本，显著性水平设置为p <0.05. 结果有不同类型和程度的脊柱弯曲异常的有202例(37%)。脊柱畸形的存在与腘窝高度与座椅高度不匹配(x2 = 175.67, p = 0.001)、臀宽与座椅宽度不匹配(x2 = 293.14, p = 0.00)、肩高与靠背高度不匹配(x2 = 788.16, p = 0.001)有显著相关性(p≤0.05)。结论人体测量参数与家具尺寸不匹配与学生脊柱畸形存在显著相关。不匹配的主要原因是除了在家具制造过程中没有考虑学生的尺寸外，还为所有学生使用了均匀的家具尺寸。
