“…Back pain in AIS has different causative factors and could also be associated with psychological and morphological parameters [ 21 ]. For instance, pain catastrophizing or lumboischialgia were also significant factors in the onset of back pain and should be taken into consideration when evaluating these patients [ 21 , 22 ].…”

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) has an incidence of 2–3% in the general population and a multifactorial etiology. The present study aims to analyze modifiable risk factors and their interactions in the development of AIS in order to increase knowledge about the disease and to prevent the evolution of AIS in young students with tailored public health strategies. A cross-sectional study was conducted over two consecutive school years among students attending 11 first-grade secondary schools in the province of Palermo, Italy. A self-administered questionnaire that investigated socio-demographical, physical and anamnestic characteristics and habits, focusing on possible risk factors associated with idiopathic scoliosis, was administered. In addition, a clinical evaluation was performed with Adams’ test and Bunnel’s inclinometer. Suspected AIS cases were associated with the practice of high-risk sports (p < 0.05), weekly physical activity lasting ≥3 h (p < 0.05), lower back pain (p < 0.001), posture disorders (p < 0.01) and having had no contact with a physician (p < 0.01). Practice of high-risk sports (adj OR = 1.83; CI 95% 1.11–4.76) and suffering of posture disorders (adj OR = 1.67; CI 95% 1.12–3.60) showed a significant association with a confirmed diagnosis of AIS (Cobb angle ≥ 10° at X-ray). The risk factors associated with AIS are still unclear. Therefore, it is crucial to identify early modifiable and multiple risk factors to prevent the evolution of scoliosis in school-age children.

“…[1][2][3][4] Se han descrito factores de riesgo que predisponen a padecer dolor raquídeo en esta etapa, como son el sedentarismo, la práctica deportiva competitiva, los hábitos posturales i n c o r r e c t o s , e l e x c e s o d e p e s o transportado en las mochilas y el mobiliario utilizado en el aula, no adaptado al momento evolutivo del escolar. [5][6][7] Calvo-Muñoz y cols., 8 indican, en su metaanálisis, que no existen diferencias significativas en la prevalencia de dolor raquídeo en la niñez entre los continentes, ni diferencias por sexo. Sin embargo, muestra que el dolor raquídeo aumenta con la edad: del 18,2 % a los 10 años al 65,6 % a los 16 años.…”
