90% of severe scoliosis cases affect girls, who are hospitalized twice as often as boys.

Recent data indicates that 90 percent of severe scoliosis cases occur in school-aged girls. Clinical findings show that these patients are hospitalized for spinal deformities at a rate 2.6 times higher than their male counterparts.

This disparity highlights a significant gender gap in the prevalence and clinical severity of spinal conditions among pediatric populations. The information, reported from Madrid, underscores the necessity for targeted medical monitoring and intervention for young girls regarding spinal health.
