Their curvatures of their spines were measured by scoliometer and a flexible ruler, and their resting habits were assessed through the Resting Habits questionnaire. The obtained data were analyzed by performing Kolmogorov-Smirnov, linear regression, Pearson, Spearman, Mann-Whitney, and Independent t statistical tests using SPSS.V22.&nbsp;<br> <strong>Results:</strong> There was no significant relationship between the resting habits of the study participants with their degrees of lordosis (P=0.858, r=0.574) and degree of scoliosis (P=0.603, r=0.857). However, there was a significant relationship between lordosis and gender (P<0.001) and age (P<0.022, r=0.22) in a way that the spine curvature disorders were more prevalent in girls and older students than boys and younger ones.<br> <strong>Conclusion: </strong>In this study, the resting habits were not identified as risk factor for abnormal spine curvatures in the younger ages. However, bad resting habits at older ages and in females can be risk factors for lordosis.</div> Spine, Scoliosis, Lordosis, Lifestyle, Resting habits 97 102 http://ptj.uswr.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-350-1&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 Zahra Ghorbanpoor زهرا قربانپور zghorbanpor@yahoo.com No Department of Occupational Therapy, Student Research Committee, University of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences, Tehran, Iran. دانشگاه علوم بهزیستی و توانبخشی Zahra Mosallanezhad زهرا مصلی نژاد No Department of Physiotherapy, University of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences, Tehran, Iran. دانشگاه علوم بهزیستی و توانبخشی Javad Minaee Javid جواد مینایی No Department of Occupational Therapy, University of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences, Tehran, Iran. دانشگاه علوم بهزیستی و توانبخشی Aileen Talimkhani آیلین طلیم خانی No Department of Physiotherapy, School of Rehabilitation Sciences,, Hamedan University of Medical Sciences, Hamadan, Iran. دانشگاه علوم پزشکی همدان Nazila Akbar Fahimi نازیلا اکبر فهیمی fahimi1970@yahoo.com Yes Department of Occupational Therapy, University of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences, Tehran, Iran. دانشگاه علوم بهزیستی و توانبخشی
