“…The prevalence of AIS increased significantly with age in previous studies: 1.37~1.67% in 11~12-year-old girls, 2.22% in 13~14-year-old girls, and 3.12% in 16~17-year-old girls, and 0.21~0.44% in 11~13-year-old boys, as well as 0.66% in 13~14-year-old boys [1]. The prevalence of scoliosis in the 15e20-year group was 1.14%, which was higher than 0.97% observed in the 11e14-year group [12]. The rate of AIS curve progression is 1 to 2 per month during the pubertal growth spurt [3].…”

“…The prevalence of AIS was found to be 2.6% among 7th and 10th grade students (aged 13 or 16 years) in Korea, which is within the known range of prevalence (2%e3%) in children aged <16 years [3]. This was lower than the reported 3.26% prevalence in Korean children aged 10e12 years and 13e14 years [25] but higher than the 0.97%e1.14% prevalence of children aged 11e14 years in China [12]. When consecutive physical examinations were performed, positive agreement among examiners varied from 7% to 30% [26].…”

“…AIS is 2e10 times more common in women than in men and typically progresses during pubertal growth [11]. The prevalence of scoliosis increases with increasing age [12], particularly in adolescents aged 13e17 years [1]. Puberty is thought to be initiated by genetic and lifestyle factors, leading to the development of AIS [13].…”

Scoliosis is a common musculoskeletal problem in adolescents. This study aimed to identify the prevalence of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and its associated factors among Korean adolescents. The prevalence of thin individuals among students with AIS was compared based on body mass index (BMI) classifications. Methods: This study was a secondary data analysis and used the 2016 Korean National Health Examination for School Students data. Data from 16,412 students were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Chi-square tests, and logistic regression analysis. Results: The prevalence of AIS was higher in women (3.8%) than in men (1.6%), and a higher school year was a risk factor for AIS in both sexes. In woman adolescents, scoliosis was associated with thinness; however, the risk of AIS was inversely associated with overweight/obesity in both sexes. The prevalence of thin woman students with scoliosis differed based on the criteria used: 3.3% by the World Health Organization criteria and 14.3% by the International Obesity Task Force criteria. Conclusion: The prevalence of thin students with scoliosis could increase by up to four times depending on the BMI criteria. For early screening of thin people at risk of AIS among female students, the criterion of International Obesity Task Force should be used as it is more permissive of thinness. This is also because of the underestimation of AIS prevalence when using the BMI Z score of the World Health Organization cutoff.

“…Tüm dünyada skolyoz prevalansının bildirilmesi ve erken önlem alınması amacıyla okulda skolyoz tarama programları (OSTP) yürütülmektedir. Literatürde bildirilen skolyoz prevalansının oldukça değişken olması (%0, ve düşük tahmin değeri nedeniyle dernekler arasında OSTP kullanımı açısından fikir birliği oluşmamıştır (1,(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16).…”

Okulda skolyoz tarama programları (OSTP) skolyoz prevalansını belirleme ve önlem alma amacıyla oldukça yaygın olarak uygulanmaktadır. Ancak OSTP sürecinde ilk basamakta radyolojik değerlendirme yapılmadığı için küçük açılı (10-20 o) skolyoz hastaları fizik muayene esnasında gözden kaçabilir. Bu çalışmada akciğer grafisi çektirmiş adölesanlarda torasik skolyoz prevalansının saptanması amaçlanmıştır. Yöntemler: Antalya Atatürk Devlet Hastanesi'ne omurga sorunu dışındaki nedenlerle başvurmuş ve akciğer grafisi çekilmiş adölesan hastaların posteroanterior akciğer grafileri ve demografik verileri resim arşivleme sistemi aracılıyla geriye dönük olarak değerlendirildi.

“…Faulty posture is common in children and teens with a wide spectrum of symptoms and causes. There are numerous researches conducted to examine the common deformities that may occur due to various reasons ( Zhang et al, 2015 ; Smyrnis et al, 2015 ; Penha et al, 2005 ; Nery et al, 2010 ; Sharma et al, 2013 ; Drerup et al, 1996 ; Hierholzer et al, 2002 ; Mahlknecht 2007 ; Płaszewski et al, 2014 ; Eivazi et al, 2012 ; Konieczny et al, 2013 ). Certainly, postural deformities that have no inherited roots are acquired.…”

Introduction:Postural deformities are commonly acquired disorders that occur throughout the life. The purpose of this research was to determine and compare the frequency of scoliosis disorder and anthropometric characteristics of normal versus the disordered Students.Materials and Methods:This was a cross-sectional study that was performed on 1416 girls and boys of elementary school students in the city of Kashan in education year 2010-2011. Adams bending test was employed to examine 1416 students to identify the disorder. Seca scale was employed to measure weight and inflexible tape was used to measure the height of students. SPSS software was employed to analyze the data.Results:The result of analysis showed that 63.8 percent of students were boys and 36.2 percent were girls. The frequency of scoliosis in boys and girls was 29.8 and 24.2 percent, respectively. Independent t-test result showed that there was a significant difference between the height and weight of normal versus the scoliosis identified boys and girls student (P=0.004, 0.031; 0.0001, 0.041).Conclusion:These types of studies are conducted regularly to identify poor postural cases at an early stage. The identification of acquired deformities at an early stage is important since it provides the opportunity to take the appropriate measures to correct them. Early identification of scoliosis is vital to maximize effectiveness of treatment.

Prevalence of Scoliosis Among Primary and Middle School Students in Mainland China

Abstract: Meta-analyses showed that the prevalence of scoliosis in Mainland China was 1.02% among the primary and middle school students. The prevalence of scoliosis in females was higher than in males and the ratio was 1.54. As they grew older, the prevalence of scoliosis increased in the students.
