Abstract
Purpose
Scoliosis may create muscle imbalance and disturb muscle metabolism. However, no studies have examined muscle cell metabolism in scoliosis. This study evaluates lactate concentration in female college students with scoliosis.
Methods
One hundred fifty female college students followed this cross-sectional analytic study. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied. Scoliosis was measured using a scoliometer. A scoliometer reading of 5° was considered scoliosis. Lactate concentration was measured using a lactate analyzer, and a lactate value above 2 mg dL−1 was denoted as ‘elevated.’ Anova and post hoc tests were used to analyze differences in the variables between scoliosis and normal subgroups. The results were significant if P < 0.05.
Results
One hundred participants (66.7%) had a spinal curve angle of more than 5°. Only weight in thoracic scoliosis was lower than normal (P = 0.022). Lactate was significantly higher than normal in all scoliosis subtypes (P < 0.001). Lactate in both types was considerably higher than thoracic and lumbar scoliosis (P = 0.04 and 0.03, respectively).
Conclusion
Lactate concentration increased in female students with scoliosis.
