| description | Introduction: Cell phone or smart phone abuse has become a
daily phenomenon, many diseases are found to be associated
with cell phone overuse, it also leads to mental anxiety, mood
disorder etc.,
Aim: To study C-Reactive Protein (CRP), Serum Uric Acid (SUA)
and Serum Total Protein (STP) in cell phone addiction and
depression together in the medical college campus.
Materials and Methods: The present study was a case-control
study in which total 150 subjects with 75 cases of depression
and cell phone addiction and 75 healthy controls were involved
from medical college of Uttar Pradesh, India. The diagnosis of
depression and cell phone addiction was done by (Hamilton,
Smart phone Addiction Scale-Short Version) scales. CRP,
SUA and STP were quantified using Chem-7 Erba analyser
from fasting serum samples. Data was analysed by Statistical
Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 17.0 software.
Results: Significant correlation between depression and cell
phone addiction was found (p=0.023). Significant difference
between cases and controls (p<0.001) was found for age,
depression score, cell phone addiction score but CRP, SUA and
STP were insignificant.
Conclusion: Present research acknowledges many vital
observations between cell phone addiction and depression
with biochemical trajectories, which is novelty of this study.
Youngsters are tending towards addiction and depression,
which is an alarm for society and policy makers to rethink about
modern gadgets advancements. It is strongly recommended
to do further research in this area with more subjects and
biochemical markers. |
