    Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is a common spinal disorder that causes back pain, radiculopathy, and neurological deficits. Evidence suggests that gender, along with systemic comorbidities such as obesity and osteoporosis, influences the manifestation, severity, and progression of LDH. MRI is the gold standard for diagnosing and characterizing disc pathology, but the interplay between sex-specific features and comorbidities remains underexplored.

It was hypothesized that 1) there is likely to be a relationship between personality traits, defensive pessimism, and cyberchondria in youth, 2) personality traits and defensive pessimism would likely to predict cyberchondria in youth, 3) there would likely be gender differences in personality traits, defensive pessimism and cyberchondria in youth. A correlational research design was used. The convenient sampling strategy were used to collect data from 200 participants who were university students of age range between 18 to 28 years (M = 20.82, SD = 2.08). The Big Five Inventory (John & Martinez, 1998), Defensive Pessimism (Norem, 2001), and Cyberchondria severity Scale (McElroy & Shevlin, 2014), along with a self constructed demographic sheet for assessment. The results showed positive relationship of conscientiousness, neuroticism and openness personality traits with defensive pessimism in youth.
