“…Scoliosis is a common condition in adolescents, with a reported prevalence of 2–3% in the literature globally ( 1 , 2 ), and higher prevalence of 8.3–9.3% were reported using X-ray screening method ( 3 , 4 ). Adolescent scoliosis develops at the age of 11–18 years and accounts for most cases ( 5 ).…”

ObjectiveWe investigated regional disparities in rates of scoliosis among adolescents in western and eastern China and the dominant factors underlying these disparities.MethodsThis cross-sectional study used data from a school scoliosis screening program conducted in two typical areas: Yangpu District of Shanghai (eastern China) and Tianzhu Tibetan Autonomous County of Gansu Province (western China), during October 2020 to February 2021. Participants included adolescents aged 12–16 years (4,240 in Shanghai and 2,510 in Gansu Province). School scoliosis screening data were obtained on age, sex, height, weight and BMI, and region as well. We screened angles of trunk rotation in level of proximal thoracic (T1–T4), main thoracic (T5–T12), and lumbar (T12–L4) by the forward bend test with scoliometer. An angle of trunk rotation ≥5° was used as the criterion to identify suspected scoliosis.ResultsThe proportion of suspected scoliosis was lower in Shanghai (6.9%) than in Gansu (8.6%). Angle of trunk rotation tended to increase with age in Shanghai, peaking at 15 years, but decreased with age in Gansu, and bottomed at 15 years. The angle of trunk rotation in the proximal thoracic, main thoracic, and lumbar part of the spine appeared to be larger in Gansu adolescents and in Shanghai female adolescents. Age was a relevant factor in angle trunk rotation in regression models and interacted with region as well.ConclusionWe found regional and age- and sex-related disparities in rates of suspected scoliosis.

“…The group that was mostly represented was that of the 12 years old, 15 in absolute numbers, percentage 29,55%. Out of the 44 children in the group 31 were girls, 13 boys, setting our fi ndings in the limits of the current literature (8). The most representative ages for the girls were 11 and 12, and for the boys 10 and 12, as follows in Figure 2.…”

Scoliosis is a tri-dimensional lateral curvature of the spine of 10° or more, with a rotational component. The most common form of scoliosis in the population is adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). As its name states, it has no known direct cause, even if, over time some evidence for multiple linked causes has been provided There is some evidence accumulated pointing to an association between AIS and posture control, where vision and vestibular systems are both involved We analysed the links between the curvature of the spine, its evolution and possible visual and vestibular impairment on 44 children with scoliosis. A postural aetiology of scoliosis in the visually and vestibular impaired population could be implied, since all the cases that could be defined as scoliosis and not as a scoliotic attitude (Cobb > 10º) were positive for the Fukuda Stepping Test and more than 60% of the patients that had a Cobb angle value higher than 15º had a type of visual impairment (myopia).
