Abstract: Procrastination is a complex behavioural singularity subjective by psychological, neurological, and biological factors. Teenage years represents a critical developing stage during which procrastination behavior possibly will be exacerbated, predominantly among personalities la-di-da by neurological disorders such as migraine. The contemporaneous cross-sectional study observed the association amongst nominated phenotypic characters—ABO blood group, hair type, and facial shape—and procrastination behavior amongst adolescents, with special reference to migraine. A total of 102 adolescents elderly 17–21 years from nominated educational institutions in Tamil Nadu, India, be situated included. The Data be situated collected via a structured inquiry form, a homogenous adolescent procrastination scale, scientific migraine history, and phenotypic assessment. The ABO blood grouping was completed using standard transparency agglutination techniques. The Statistical studies, included chi-square tests, odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI), logistic regression, in addition Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium analysis. In height procrastination behavior be to be found observed in 70.5% of contributors, while migraine predominance was 20.5%. The Migraine-affected young people presented significantly greater procrastination scores (χ² = 9.84; p < 0.01). Blood groups B and O, curly hair type, in addition round facial shape established relatively higher prevalence of procrastination, however population-level associations remained weak. The findings indicate that procrastination behavior amongst adolescents is ambitious for the most part by neurological and psychosocial influences slightly than phenotypic characters alone.
