What this trial studies

This study investigates the prevalence of scoliosis, myopia, and other vision disorders in adolescents aged 6-18 in Zhejiang Province. It aims to track changes in spinal curvature over an 8-year period while analyzing the associations between scoliosis and vision disorders, as well as potential risk factors. The study also includes health education on scoliosis during screenings to promote early detection and intervention. By focusing on a longitudinal approach, it seeks to understand the dynamics of these conditions in a pediatric population.
