A cross-sectional study was conducted, with 200 public university students from Klang Valley taking part. Non-probability sampling was utilized, and data was gathered using a set of online surveys created by Google Form. The data was analyzed using SPSS software version 20.0, and Chi-square was used to examine the association of health problems with MSDs. The majority (46.0 %) are between the ages of 22 and 23, and 55.0 % are female. The Chi-square test revealed that a few factors are associated with musculoskeletal disorders and excessive smartphone usage (MSDs). Excessive smartphone usage has been shown to have a negative influence on human health, both physically and emotionally.
