TLDR
For example, this paper found that the prevalence of curves with higher Cobb angles is substantially higher in girls than in boys, and the female to male ratio rises from 1.5:1 to 3:1 and increases substantially with increasing age.Abstract:
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is a common disease with an overall prevalence of 0.47–5.2 % in the current literature. The female to male ratio ranges from 1.5:1 to 3:1 and increases substantially with increasing age. In particular, the prevalence of curves with higher Cobb angles is substantially higher in girls than in boys: The female to male ratio rises from 1.4:1 in curves from 10° to 20° up to 7.2:1 in curves >40°. Curve pattern and prevalence of scoliosis is not only influenced by gender, but also by genetic factors and age of onset. These data obtained from school screening programs have to be interpreted with caution, since methods and cohorts of the different studies are not comparable as age groups of the cohorts and diagnostic criteria differ substantially. We do need data from studies with clear standards of diagnostic criteria and study protocols that are comparable to each other.read more

Reliability and Validity of the Persian Version of the Body Image Disturbance Questionnaire-Scoliosis in Patients with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Who Did Not Have Surgical Indication.
TL;DR: In this paper , the reproducibility and internal consistency of the Body Image Disturbance Questionnaire-Scoliosis (BIDQ-S) in the Persian-speaking population worldwide suffering from AIS was evaluated.

TLSO: The Effect of Spinal Translation on Initial Coronal Curve Correction, Lateral Trunk Shift, and Coronal Balance in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
TL;DR: The hypothesis that greater applied lateral shifting in TLSO CAD modifications leads to greater coronal scoliotic curve correction is not supported and Orthotists are not able to predict in-orthosis coronal curve correction based on CAD modifications, spinal flexibility, and BMI alone.

Effect of different undergarment designs on the compliance and acceptance of the patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis under orthotic treatment
TL;DR: In this paper , a prospective randomized-controlled study was conducted to compare the effect of three types of undergarments: self-provided, thin-and thick-undergarments.

TL;DR: In this article , a study was conducted to determine whether females with idiopathic scoliosis, both with and without spine fusion, experience different rates of cesarean section (CS) and epidural anesthesia (EA) than females without SC.

Biomechanical analysis of the impact of increasing levels of body mass index on the ability of a bracing orthosis to alter the asymmetric compressive growth plate loading in a scoliotic spine
TL;DR: In this article , the impact of increasing body mass index (BMI) on the magnitude of alterations in the asymmetric compressive vertebral growth plate loading of a scoliotic spine following 50% in-brace correction is studied using the finite element method, and subsequent alteration of the longitudinal bone growth rate is quantified.

TL;DR: Four distinct coding mutations in JAG1 are demonstrated, providing evidence that it is the causal gene for Alagille syndrome, and supporting the hypothesis that haploinsufficiency for this gene is one of the mechanisms causing the Alagile syndrome phenotype.

TL;DR: It is concluded that AGS is caused by haploinsufficiency of JAG1, the human homologue of rat Jagged1, which encodes a ligand for the Notch receptor, an attractive candidate gene for a developmental disorder in humans.

TL;DR: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis affects 1-3% of children in the at-risk population of those aged 10-16 years and the aetiopathogensis of this disorder remains unknown, with misinformation about its natural history.

TL;DR: The scoliosis prevalence rate of 68% found in this study reveals a rate significantly higher than reported in other studies, and appears to reflect the targeted selection of an elderly group.

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
TL;DR: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is a common problem; its prevalence in the general population is about 1.8 percent, if minor curvatures of 5 to 10 degrees are included.
