ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the screening results of spinal problems in children and adolescents aged 6-18 years and the influencing factors of scoliosis to provide reference for the prevention of spinal problems in children and adolescents. Methods Stratified cluster random sampling was used to screen the prevalence of scoliosis among kindergarten to senior high school students in Shiyan city, and a questionnaire survey was conducted among subjects or parents. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors affecting the occurrence of scoliosis. Results A total of 1 674 children and adolescents were investigated, and 113 cases of scoliosis were detected, with a detection rate of 6.75%. The probability of scoliosis was 1.92% (13/678), 5.35% (28/523) and 17.76% (72/473) in elementary school, junior high school and senior high school students, respectively. The detection rate of scoliosis gradually increased with the increase of education level (χ2 for trend = 5.272, P 12 h (63.72%), daily electronic product use time > 2 h (67.26%), high physical activity > 1 time/d (42.48%) in the past 7 d, and daily outdoor activity time ≤ 2 h (62.83%) were higher than those in the group without scoliosis (P 12 hours (OR=3.258 , 95% CI: 2.562-11.247), daily electronic product use time>2 hours (OR=2.619, 95% CI: 1.935-5.508) , Heavy physical activity in the past 7 days (OR=1.724, 95% CI: 1.347-2.966) , Daily outdoor activity ≤2 h（OR=1.830，95% CI: 1.463-3.103）is a risk factor for scoliosis in children and adolescents (P<0.05). Conclusions The occurrence of scoliosis in children and adolescents is related to gender, nutritional status, and learning habits, and it is necessary to strengthen the screening of high-risk groups in order to reduce the occurrence of scoliosis.
