Poor posture is a well-known problem in all age groups and can lead to back pain, which in turn can result in high socio-economic costs. Regular assessment of posture can therefore help to identify postural deficits at an early stage in order to take preventive measures and can therefore be an important tool for promoting public health. We measured the posture of 1127 symptom-free subjects aged 10 to 69 years using stereophotogrammetry and determined the sagittal posture parameters (FC), (FL), and kyphosis index (KI) as well as the values standardized to the trunk height (FC%, FL%, KI%). FC, FC%, KI, and KI% showed an increase with age in men but not in women, and a difference between the sexes. FL remained largely constant with age, although FL% had significantly greater values in women than men. Postural parameters correlated only moderately or weakly with body mass index. Reference values were determined for different age groups and for both sexes. Since the parameters analyzed can also be determined by simple and non-instrumental methods in medical office, they are suitable for performing preventive checks in daily medical or therapeutic practice.
不良姿势是所有年龄段都存在的一个众所周知的问题，可能导致背痛，进而导致高昂的社会经济成本。因此，定期评估姿势有助于在早期发现姿势缺陷，从而采取预防措施，因此可以成为促进公共健康的重要工具。我们使用立体摄影测量法测量了 1127 名无症状受试者（年龄在 10 至 69 岁之间）的姿势，并确定了矢状位姿势参数（FC）、（FL）和后凸指数（KI）以及标准化到躯干高度的数值（FC%、FL%、KI%）。FC、FC%、KI 和 KI%在男性中随年龄增长而增加，但在女性中没有性别差异。FL 随年龄基本保持不变，尽管女性的 FL%明显高于男性。姿势参数与体重指数仅呈中度或弱相关。为不同年龄组和性别确定了参考值。由于分析的参数也可以通过医疗办公室中的简单非仪器方法确定，因此它们适用于在日常医疗或治疗实践中进行预防性检查。
