I've never seen any solid research linking slouching to back problems later in life. There's plenty of studies that correlate "bad" posture with discomfort, but none that I'm aware that correlate slouching with future back problems controlled by a group that does not slouch. I'd love to be corrected though.
- shubb 13y agoYou are right - I am basing this on my subjective experience. Also, I suspect that this is a problem if 80% of your time you are at a desk typing, but if you move around a lot, it's not going to be such a problem. That said, if you are coding at a desk all the time, a quick google finds research that backs up the posture -> injury thing.
