OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the hormonal profile of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and its relationship to the severity of the curvature and quality of life . METHOD: Patients with scoliosis (Cobb angle above 10°), of both genders, diagnosed after 10 years of age were included, excluding those who presented other condition that could lead to scoliosis. Serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD), cortisol and gastrin were correlated with Cobb angle and quality of life, measured by the SRS-30 questionnaire . RESULTS: The levels of 25-OHD decreased in 97% of patients. There was an inverse relationship between gastrin levels and quality of life (p = 0.016). Moreover, there was an inverse correlation between the value of Cobb angle and quality of life (p = 0.036). There were no changes in cortisol levels. There was no correlation between Cobb angle and any of the hormones measured . CONCLUSION: The patients had levels of 25-OHD diminished, strengthening the hypothesis of its involvement in the development of AIS. This study also suggests that increased gastrin levels may be associated with a worse quality of life in patients with AIS. Level of Evidence II, Diagnostic Study.
