Scientists have discovered that young people grow unusual bone structures on the back of their heads City Magazine

Research conducted at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Australia has found that young people, especially those between the ages of 18 and 30, develop an unusual bone structure at the back of their skull. Where does the cause lie?

Unusual bone growths usually appear in the elderly, a study, by David Shahar and Mark GL Sayers, presented new and shocking details. After collecting and analyzing data from 1,200 people of both sexes aged 18 to 86, they found that in younger adults, exostosis or bony outgrowths, and the number of people to whom this is happening is increasing. A bony outgrowth in the shape of a flower was found in a car 40 percent of people aged 18 to 29, but they have not yet discovered whether the growth is also dangerous.

Interestingly, these growths grow on the back of the skull, and the shape resembles on roses. It has been reported in many media that young people are growing "roses" on the back of their heads because they use mobile phones and other technologies too much. But of course this is not true. Although the growths look like little flowers, they are not, and mobile technology should not have a direct effect on this phenomenon.

According to the research, it should cause growths "mechanical load", which can arise regardless of whether the use of technologies is increased or not. Another reason for such growths could be bad posture. It is known to affect the shape of our bone structure. Perhaps in young people, the neck and spine have become inflamed to the point that the body needs new bones to support them.

One of the main reasons for poor posture is age, which could explain why these bony growths occur in the elderly. But it should be noted that there are other possible reasons office work, high heels, use of technology, carrying heavy bags and poor diet. And if we pay attention, we can find that all these factors are part of the everyday life of today's youth. Of course, we cannot just stop working in the office or using technology for work, but we must be aware that our daily activities affect our body much more than we realize. Try stretching at work, taking a break while using the phone, etc.
