Abstract: Nomophobia is a growing fear of this modern generation. Technologies such as a mobile phone are most frequently used in this modern era through its advantages but there are also disadvantages. This paper examines the relationship between nomophobia and the physical health of Panaboans across age groups. For this purpose, the sample was drawn from the citizen of Panabo City, which is currently online on social media using a convenient sampling method. The sample comprised of one hundred twenty (N=120), i.e., sixty-three males and fifty-seven females from the age range of 8-25, 26-40, 41-55, and 56-74. The questionnaire was administered to them after procuring informed consent. The techniques of Pearson r Correlation, Independent T-test, and ANOVA were employed to analyze data. The tool used to calculate the data was SPSS. The results explained that the relationship between nomophobia and physical health status has a negative correlation with an R-value = -0.005. Therefore, the physical health status of Panaboans mainly has minimal evidence of health-related issues about the cause of nomophobia. This research study influences researchers to furthermore investigate its assumptions of nomophobia.
