Answer
Following are the causes of bad or poor posture among human beings:
Improper Diet: If we do not take a proper diet, the bones and muscles of our body become weak. We experience fatigue after some time. Consequently, we adopt faulty or bad posture. Due to an improper diet, a person suffers from deficiency diseases like rickets and pigeon's chest that causes bad posture.
Diseases: Various diseases like rickets, polio and infantile paralysis may result in a bad or poor posture in a child. Chronic illness may also lead to a poor posture. These diseases may result in undue curvature of the vertebra.
By Birth: A person may have a bad posture from birth. Kyphosis, clubfoot and dislocation of hip are such deformities which might be present from birth.
Due to Accidents: Accidents may cause injuries to the body. These injuries may further lead to physical deformity or poor posture. In accidents, muscles of the body may be damaged permanently. This may also lead to poor posture. Severe burns may also cause physical deformities.
Fatigue: If we work continuously for longer duration, we experience fatigue and we become lazy and lethargic. So, we adopt a bad posture, if we continue doing that work. Even after work, when we take rest, we tend to adopt a wrong posture which ultimately results in a poor or bad posture.
