Table 3 Overall mean differences between girls with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and controls.
| Variables | AIS Girls (n=136) | Controls (n=104) | % difference (AIS-Control) | p |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bone age (years) | 14.65±1.42 | 14.00±3.55 | 4.64 | 0.081 |
| Age (years) | 13.65±1.68 | 13.31±2.85 | 2.55 | 0.283 |
| BMI (SDS) | 0.08±0.86 | 0.19±1.14 | −57.89 | 0.432 |
| Weight (SDS) | −0.05±1.13 | 0.09±1.16 | −155.56 | 0.336 |
| Height (SDS) | −0.09±0.99 | −0.32±0.72 | 71.88 | 0.042 |
| Values are expressed as mean±SD. p-values were obtained with independent samples t-tests. % difference is calculated with respect to control group with the formula [(AIS-Control)*100/Control]. | ||||
