Table 4 Overall mean differences between boys with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and controls.
| Variables | AIS Boys (n=64) | Controls (n=64) | % difference (AIS-Control) | p |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bone age (years) | 16.38±2.36 | 13.00±2.94 | 26.0 | <0.001 |
| Age (years) | 15.95±2.19 | 12.75±2.12 | 25.1 | <0.001 |
| BMI (SDS) | −0.47±0.92 | −0.33±0.63 | −42.42 | 0.320 |
| Weight (SDS) | −0.29±0.9 | −0.08±0.63 | −262.5 | 0.136 |
| Height (SDS) | 0.04±0.53 | −0.13±1.06 | 130.8 | 0.239 |
| 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]. | ||||
