Brief summary (registry, in English)
BACKGROUND: smartphone dependence causes adverse effects on one's lifestyle such as dietary habits and daily routines, resulting in overweight or obesity. Additionally, academic stress also contributes to addictive behaviors, such as smartphone addiction. Research shows that problematic smartphone use is significantly associated with loneliness, low self-esteem, and depression. Poor mental health is also proven to be a risk factor for obesity in young adults.
