Introduction
Kyphosis, a forward curvature of the spine, is an
increasingly prevalent condition among
adolescents, and its impact on overall health
and well-being cannot be underestimated. This
study seeks to shed light on the specific
prevalence of kyphosis among Madrasah
students, a demographic that remains
relatively understudied in this context. By
understanding the extent of this condition
within this unique population, we can better
tailor interventions and preventive measures to
address their specific needs.

Results and Discussions
Among 134 Madrasah students, only 18.7%
received correct kyphosis diagnoses from
healthcare professionals, with merely 8.2%
seeking prior treatment. Gender distribution
showed 69.4% males and 30.6% females,
predominantly aged 16-19. Back pain was
reported by 35.1%, while 58.2% displayed
posture awareness, and 23.9% used ergonomic
furniture. Notably, 32.1% reported no pain.
These findings highlight the significant
prevalence of kyphosis among Madrasah
students and its potential impact on their well-
being and educational performance.

Material and Methods
The study employed a descriptive observational
cross-sectional design, conducted within a 3-
month timeframe after synopsis approval, among
134 Madrassah students. A convenient sampling
technique was used, with specific age and
exclusion criteria. Data collection involved
physical examinations and self-reported
questionnaires, analyzed using SPSS version 27.
Ethical considerations included informed consent,
anonymity, and confidentiality. The study aimed to
benefit medical practitioners in kyphosis
management, adhering to ethical guidelines and
cultural sensitivity in Madrassah settings while
obtaining relevant institutional review board
approval.
conclusIons
Kyphosis is indeed a concerning issue for
Madrasah students, impacting not only
their spinal health but also their overall
well-being. The prevalence revealed by
our study underscores the urgency of
addressing this issue within the
Madrasah student community. As
kyphosis can affect their physical
comfort and potentially hinder their
educational performance, it is
imperative to prioritize preventive
measures and early intervention
strategies tailored to this population's
unique needs.
