Radiological spine examinations revealed that only 2.6% of healthy pilot aspirants had no spinal variations. This highlights the prevalence of spinal findings in young adults and the importance of screening.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Radiology
  • Preventive Medicine

Background:

  • Spinal variations are common, but their incidence in specific populations requires detailed study.
  • Understanding the prevalence of spinal abnormalities is crucial for occupational health and preventive strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the incidence of various spinal variations in a large cohort of young, healthy individuals.
  • To establish baseline data on spinal health for pilot aspirants.

Main Methods:

  • Standardized radiographic examinations of the entire spine (AP and lateral views) were performed on 10,922 pilot aspirants.
  • Cervical spine oblique views and lumbar spine oblique views (in 5,781 men) were also included.

Main Results:

  • Mild habit scoliosis (80.4%) and mild kyphosis of adolescence (23.3%) were highly prevalent.
  • Structural scoliosis (9%), spondylolysis (6.2%), spondylolisthesis (4.3%), and various vertebral anomalies were also identified with significant incidences.

Conclusions:

  • A high percentage of individuals exhibited spinal variations, with only 2.6% showing no pathological findings.
  • Radiological spine examinations are vital for industrial and preventive medicine, particularly in screening young, healthy populations.
