Vertebral disorders have significant health and economic impacts, due to aging current lifestyle habits, there is a trend toward their increase. Obesity the alignment of vertebral curvatures can be associated with back pain. Objective: This study aims analyze whether general abdominal obesity are cervical, dorsal, lumbar pain as well increased or decreased values curvatures. Methodology: Body composition, degree curvature, perception were evaluated in population 301 people (>18 years old). Linear logistic regression analyses performed evaluate influence several variables body composition on angles Results: Lumbar was most prevalent (66.1%), mainly affecting women (70.9%). They also shown greater (p < 0.001). The degrees curvature increased, did BMI, waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio. Cervical dorsal by all adiposity adiposity. It found that carried twice risk lower than those without (OR = 2.172, p 0.05). In addition, an angle related low 1.031, pain, other hand, waist-height index 0.948, <0.01). Conclusions: shows may factors for it association between amount fat relation spine sagittal plane. Investigating effect morphology musculoskeletal makes possible prescribe interventions therapeutic strategies.
