In the school-year 2002/2003 a prospective epidemiological study was performed with the aim of evaluating the prevalence and distribution of scoliosis in the population of schoolchildren from Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The general check-up of primary-school children covered a total of 2,517 children aged 7-14. The children in which at least one positive symptom of scoliosis was found were directed to undergo orthopedic examination and--if indicated--radiography. Incorrect posture was noted in 33.4% of children, and 11.8% of children were sent to orthopedic specialist examination. The prevalence of structural scoliosis amounted to 3.1%, with the spine curvature threshold being 10 degrees. In eight children (0.32%; 1 boy and 7 girls) a curvature of 20 degrees or more was diagnosed. The most common type of curvature was the thoracal (39%) and the thoraco-lumbar (39%) while 14 children had a double curvature (17.8%). A scoliosis was detected due to here performed check-up in 83.5% of children with scoliosis. No case of serious spine deformity (45 degree or more) was recorded, due to regular general check-ups taking place biannually in this population.
在2002/2003学年，进行了一项前瞻性流行病学研究，旨在评估波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那莫斯塔尔学童群体中脊柱侧弯的患病率和分布情况。对小学生的全面检查共涵盖了2517名7至14岁的儿童。发现至少有一项脊柱侧弯阳性症状的儿童被送去接受骨科检查，如有必要还进行了X光检查。33.4%的儿童存在姿势不正确的情况，11.8%的儿童被送去接受骨科专家检查。结构性脊柱侧弯的患病率为3.1%，脊柱弯曲阈值为10度。8名儿童（0.32%；1名男孩和7名女孩）被诊断出弯曲度为20度或以上。最常见的弯曲类型是胸段（39%）和胸腰段（39%），14名儿童有双弯（17.8%）。通过此次检查，83.5%的脊柱侧弯儿童被检测出来。由于该群体每半年进行一次定期全面检查，未记录到严重脊柱畸形（45度或以上）的病例。
