The Impact of Vitamin D on Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

In our modern society, there’s growing attention to spinal health. China Children’s Development Center reports a troubling 20% incidence of scoliosis in Chinese children and adolescents. This phenomenon also happened in other countries, which underscores the urgency of studying scoliosis in adolescents. This paper bases on previous research to investigate the vitamin D’s influence on adolescent scoliosis, including the condition’s basics, underlying mechanisms, and the latest research results. It primarily focuses on how vitamin D affects bone health, its role in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS), and the causes of AIS. Through a comprehensive analysis of professional research literature, it becomes evident that vitamin D plays a vital role in scoliosis. Its primary mechanisms include enhancing bone density, supporting musculoskelet al health, and interacting with the vitamin D receptor, all pivotal for bone metabolism. Vitamin D is closely related to the central nervous system and brain development. It has an impact on the endocrine system, bone development, muscle growth, and central nervous system development, which are intricately linked to the origins of AIS. In conclusion, vitamin D shows promise for preventing and treating AIS. This study aims to provide insights into AIS of adolescent spinal healthcare, raise awareness of protecting Spinal health among adolescents and society, and ultimately improve human’s health.
