چکیده مقاله:
Introduction:
Kyphosis is the spinal curve that causes the top of the back to seem abnormally rounded. Carrying angle
can be measured with the upper limb being fully extended. The study aim was determining the mean and correlation
between kyphosis and carrying angle with demographic factors in medical studen ts of Guilan University of Medical
SciencesSciences.
Materials and Methods: In this observational study, we assessed asymptomatic young adults in their first three years
of enrollment in medical school. The participants had neither curren t nor a history of spinal or upper arm injuries.
Kyphosis and carrying angle were measured by using the Debrunner kyphometer and goniometer, respectively. We
also measured anthropometric features such as weight and height
Results:
We studied ۲۱۷ medical students (M/F= ۱.۱۷/۱), with a mean age of ۲۱.۴۳±۲.۰۶. Kyphosis has a statistically
significant negative correlation with height, weight, and carrying angle o f both dominant and non dominant upper
limbs. We found kyphosis to be greater in female than in male participants. Carrying angle was greater in the dominant
upper limb than the non dominant upper limb. Dominant upper limb carrying angle was also positivel y correlated with
height and weight
Conclusio
n: In asymptomatic young adults with no history of spinal diseases, anthropometric features such as height
and weight impact kyphosis angle. It seems that kyphosis is greater in females. Severe changes in kyphosis angle may
cause loss of sagittal orientation. We suggest that people at risk of kyphosis be screened in early adulthood to prevent
the increase of kyphos is and its subsequent complications.
