Epidemiology of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis [PDF]

Journal of Children's Orthopaedics, 2013
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.
