A Case-Control Study of Body Composition, Prevalence, and Curve Severity of the Patients With Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis in the East Part of China

Based on the sporadic body composition of the patients with AIS observed in the current study, it is predictable that the pathophysiological alterations may be different before and after the onset of scoliosis. Well-designed human or animal studies for underweight patients would be helpful to reveal the mechanisms of pathophysiological alterations and better predict the development of AIS.
