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

TLSO: The Effect of Spinal Translation on Initial Coronal Curve Correction, Lateral Trunk Shift, and Coronal Balance in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors determined any existing correlation between applied coronal translation (shift) through CAD modifications of TLSOs and resulting coronal curve correction in female subjects with idiopathic scoliosis.

Test characteristics of rasterstereography for the early diagnosis of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluated rasterstereography of the spine as a diagnostic test for adolescent idiopathic soliosis (AIS) and compared its results with those obtained using a scoliometer.
Differences in postural disturbances between female adolescents handball players and nontraining peers Razlike u posturalnim poremećajima između rukometašica i netreniranih adolescentkinja
TL;DR: In this paper, the occurrence of differences in the postural disturbances in female adolescents in relation to team handball training was investigated and found that flat foot is significantly less frequent in female handball players than in untrained ones.

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.

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.
