Abstract：
The objective of this study was to assess the thoracic kyphosis (ThKA) and lumbar lordosis (LLA) in healthy young adults and to investigate potential relationships between spinal curvatures, self-reported physical activity (PA), and somatic parameters. The study included 380 female students and 211 male students aged 20.7 ± 1.5 years. The ThKA and LLA were measured using a Plurimeter-V gravity inclinometer. The level of PA was estimated using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. ThKA was lower in women compared to men, while LLA was higher in women than in men (p < 0.0001). Female students reported lower PA than male students (p < 0.001). Female students with ThKA within normal values reported a significantly higher amount of low-intensity PA compared to those with ThKA below or above the norm. A correlation was found between ThKA and body mass index (BMI), body adiposity index (BAI), WC, and fat percentage (rho < 0.2), whereas LLA showed correlations with BMI, BAI, waist circumference, and fat percentage (rho < 0.2). Among male students, a correlation was found between LLA and BMI as well as WC (rho < 0.2). Maintaining a healthy body composition may be instrumental in mitigating the risk of developing spinal curvature abnormalities.
摘要：
这项研究的目的是评估健康年轻人的胸椎后凸（ThKA）和腰椎前凸（LLA），并研究脊柱弯曲之间的潜在关系。自我报告的身体活动（PA），和躯体参数。该研究包括380名女生和211名男生，年龄为20.7±1.5岁。使用Plurimeter-V重力测斜仪测量ThKA和LLA。PA的水平是使用国际身体活动问卷估算的。与男性相比，女性的ThKA较低，而女性LLA高于男性(p<0.0001)。女学生的PA低于男学生（p<0.001）。与ThKA低于或高于正常值的女学生相比，ThKA处于正常值的女学生报告的低强度PA含量明显更高。ThKA与体重指数（BMI）之间存在相关性，身体肥胖指数（BAI），WC,和脂肪百分比(rho<0.2)，而LLA显示与BMI相关，BAI,腰围,和脂肪百分比(rho<0.2)。在男学生中，发现LLA与BMI以及WC之间存在相关性(rho<0.2)。保持健康的身体成分可能有助于减轻发生脊柱弯曲异常的风险。
