Abstract
Aim to assess the prevalence of posture disorders and deforming dorsopathies in schoolchildren in the city of Kazan according to screening data using optical computer topography.
Materials and methods. As part of the ongoing preventive medical examination of underage students in November-December 2022, a computer topographic examination of 776 schoolchildren (347 girls and 429 boys aged 8.4916.5 years) was conducted in two schools in Kazan, whose parents signed a voluntary informed consent; the study was approved by the local ethical committee of KSMU). To process the obtained data, the proportion of the feature was calculated; confidence intervals for frequencies by the Wilson method.
Results. According to the results of the study, it was found that 44 (12.68%) girls and 62 (14.45%) boys are practically healthy - they were assigned to the first health group in terms of posture (I-norm; I-subnorm - scoliosis 01st degrees); 251 (72.33%) girls and 300 (69.93%) boys have postural disorders; spinal deformities of moderate severity (scoliosis of the 1st2nd degree and other spinal deformities) were found in 51 (14.7%) girls and 63 (14.69%) boys, and the identified deviations are more common among high school students; scoliosis grade 3 and above was found in one 11-year-old girl, two 12-year-old and two 15-year-old boys (0.29% and 0.93%, respectively). All parents are informed of the screening results; recommendations are given to parents whose children are at risk or who have posture disorders and spinal deformities.
Conclusion. The frequency of occurrence of posture disorders and deforming dorsopathies in schoolchildren in Kazan does not differ from the average Russian indicators and does not have a statistically significant difference among girls and boys, however, with an increase in the age of schoolchildren, the proportion of moderate spinal deformities increases: among 15-year-old girls - 19.51% (CI 95% 7, 38-31.64); among boys aged 16 - 20.55% (95% CI 11.28-29.82).
