Does Excessive Body Weight Change the Shape of the Spine in Children?

CONCLUSIONS: Excessive body weight was found to increase the risk for developing the lumbar hyperlordosis and cause posterior axial tilt. Therefore, overweight and obese children should participate in gymnastic classes that can help correct faulty posture. Special attention should be paid to correct the position of the lower part of the trunk. PMID: 30977672 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
