There are few reports on body composition, particularly muscle mass, in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). The purpose of this study was to measure composition including mass and estimated bone AIS using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) clarify the relationship between degree composition.The subjects were 210 girls (mean age 14.0 years, range 10-18 years) whose evaluated BIA (Tanita MC-780). Body index (BMI), percent fat (%BF), lean (LMI: mass/height^2), (eBoneMI: mass/height^2) determined by compared those previous reports. We divided 111 maturation complete into two groups for comparison metrics: Cobb angle <40° (moderate group) ≥40° (severe group). relationships each parameter evaluated.Age-adjusted BMI, %BF, LMI tended be low at all ages means healthy Japanese population as previously reported. LMI, eBoneMI significantly lower severe group moderate (p<0.05). In addition, weakly correlated (r= -0.20, -0.26, -0.24).On basis results study, thinner, same age. Furthermore, factors such progressive scoliosis.
