Serum 25(OH)vitamin D level and Its correlation with bone mineral density in girls with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Objectives AIS is associated with both low bone mass and elevated serum bone alkaline phosphatase. It was also reported the prevalence of AIS was positively correlated with the latitude of the geographical region. These specific features were compatible with the presence of either Vit-D insufficiency or abnormal physiology with Vit-D. It is important to evaluate these potentially treatable conditions regarding their roles in the etiopathogenesis of AIS. The objectives of this case-control study were to evaluate Vit-D status and its correlation with areal bone mineral density (aBMD) in AIS subjects and normal controls.

STUDY DESIGN A cross-sectional study of 2 groups of patients with scoliosis, and an age-matched control group was conducted. Each of the groups such as patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) as well as control group were divided additionally into 2 groups: premenarcheal and postmenarcheal girls. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to determine the levels of 25-OH-vitamin D3, calci...

Objectives AIS was associated with low bone mass which, apart from being an important health issue that could persist into adulthood, was also a significant prognostic factor for curve progression in AIS. We have performed a randomized controlled trial on WBV and reported its effect on increasing femoral neck areal bone mineral density (aBMD) mainly at the dominant leg but less obviously at the...

BACKGROUND Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is associated with low bone mineral density (BMD). The underlying etiology and how it may relate to the development of osteopenia remains unknown. Leptin has been postulated as one of the etiologic factors of AIS because of its profound effects on bone metabolism and pubertal growth. Its modulator, soluble leptin receptor (sOB-R), may affect lept...

Background Idiopathic scoliosis (IS) is a deformity of the spine that occurs in up to 4% of children during childhood and adolescence. Idiopathic scoliosis is considered multifactorial, and family history may present several individuals affected. We still cannot determine which curves will worsen and at what rate, but some factors, such as age, growth potential and skeletal maturity have been a...
متن کاملPolymorphism in interleukin-6 gene is associated with bone mineral density in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
Low bone mass and osteopenia have been described in the axial and peripheral skeleton of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Recently, many studies have shown that gene polymorphism is related to osteoporosis. However, no studies have linked the association between IL6 gene polymorphism and bone mass in AIS. This study examined the association between bone mass and IL6 gene pol...
