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.
本研究旨在评估健康年轻成年人的胸椎后凸(ThKA)和腰椎前凸(LLA),并探讨脊柱曲率、自我报告的体力活动(PA)和躯体参数之间的潜在关系。该研究纳入了 380 名女性学生和 211 名年龄为 20.7±1.5 岁的男性学生。使用 Plurimeter-V 重力测斜仪测量 ThKA 和 LLA。使用国际体力活动问卷估计 PA 水平。女性的 ThKA 低于男性,而女性的 LLA 高于男性(p<0.0001)。女性学生报告的 PA 低于男性学生(p<0.001)。ThKA 值在正常范围内的女性学生报告的低强度 PA 量明显高于 ThKA 值低于或高于正常值的学生。ThKA 与体重指数(BMI)、体脂指数(BAI)、WC 和脂肪百分比呈相关关系(rho<0.2),而 LLA 与 BMI、BAI、腰围和脂肪百分比呈相关关系(rho<0.2)。在男性学生中,LLA 与 BMI 以及 WC 呈相关关系(rho<0.2)。保持健康的身体成分可能有助于降低发生脊柱曲率异常的风险。
