Abstract

Background: IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS is the most common type of scoliosis. Adolescent IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS curve of more than 10 degrees is reported to occur in 2 to 3 percent of youths younger than 16 years. The aim of this study was to investigate the relative frequency of IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS among female high school students in Shiraz. Patients and Methods: Using a random clustering sampling method, four hundred female students from Shiraz, with an age range of 14 to 16 years, were selected for this study. After obtaining a medical history, physical examination was performed in standing and bending forward positions. Thoracolumbar X-ray was obtained for those who were diagnosed as having scoliosis in physical examination and then the angle of curves were measured using Cobb's method. Results: The relative frequency of scoliosis was 11± 0.03 percent. Five percent of the cases had curves of more than 10 degrees and 1.25 percent had curves more than 20 degrees. Inappropriate sitting (lateral bending) was significantly more frequent in girls with scoliosis (p<0.05). However, there was no statistical difference between healthy and scoliosis students in relation to performing regular aerobic exercises. Conclusion: According to this study, a high relative frequency of IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS exists among our female school children. Therefore, it seems prudent that screening programs for early detection of scoliosis in schools become mandatory.
