Analysis of current situation and related factors of scoliosis in adolescents aged 10-16 in Hanyang District,Wuhan City
Objective To investigate the incidence and influencing factors of scoliosis among adolescents aged 10-16 in Hanyang District.Wuhan City,to provide scientific evidence for the prevention and treatment of scoliosis.Methods From March to July 2022,2 274 primary and secondary school students aged 10-16 from 6 schools in Hanyang District,Wu-han City were selected by random cluster sampling method,and scoliosis screening was carried out by using a six-step screening method,forward flexion test,trunk rotation measuring instrument and X-ray examination,and a questionnaire sur-vey was designed to analyze the relevant influencing factors.Results The detection rate of scoliosis was 2.68%in 2 274 pri-mary and secondary school students,1.75%in primary school students,and 3.64%in middle school students,with a signifi-cant difference(x2=6.969,P=0.008).Binary logistic regression analysis showed that poor sitting posture(OR=8.175,95%CI=6.260-12.135),daily TV watching(OR=0.393,95%CI=0.208-0.744),computer(OR=5.288,95%CI=2.739-10.209)and long time spent using mobile phones(OR=3.370,95%CI=2.540-4.472)were risk factors for scoliosis(P<0.01).However,the number of physical education classes per week(OR=0.411,95%C/=0.278-0.606)and the long time spent in outdoor activi-ties(OR=0.274,95%CI=0.133-0.566)were the protective factors for scoliosis(P<0.01).Conclusion Attention should be paid to the scoliosis of middle school students,and the poor sitting posture should be actively corrected,the time spent using electronic products should be reduced,and outdoor exercises should be increased.
