This paper presents the use of new technical equipment by young adults (30 years old or younger), and the physical symptoms they have. The paper then analyses how the symptoms are associated with the use of computers and mobile phones, taking into account the background information. The study is based on a survey of 15 000 working-age (18-65) Finns. The responses (1563) covering young adults' physical symptoms were analysed. Altogether 53.3% of all young adults had pretty often or more frequently pain, numbness or aches in the neck and 32.2% had aches in the hip and lower back. Women experienced more pain, numbness or aches in the neck (65.0%) than men (34.5%). The use of different computers at leisure quite often had an association with some symptoms in different parts of the body. In addition, exhaustion at work had associations with some physical symptoms. In the future, it is essential to note ergonomic reasons and exhaustion at work when young adults experience pain, numbness or aches.
本文介绍了年轻人（30 岁或以下）使用新技术设备的情况，以及他们出现的身体症状。然后，本文分析了这些症状与使用电脑和手机之间的关系，并考虑了背景信息。这项研究基于对 15000 名劳动年龄（18-65 岁）芬兰人的调查。分析了涵盖年轻人身体症状的 1563 份回复。共有 53.3%的年轻人经常或频繁感到颈部疼痛、麻木或酸痛，32.2%的人感到臀部和下背部疼痛。女性（65.0%）比男性（34.5%）更常感到颈部疼痛、麻木或酸痛。休闲时经常使用不同类型的电脑与身体不同部位的某些症状有关。此外，工作疲劳与一些身体症状也有关系。未来，当年轻人出现疼痛、麻木或酸痛时，有必要注意工作场所的人体工程学原因和疲劳问题。
