Age (year) | Weight (kg) | Number of subjects with vertebral deformities (%) | ||
mean ± SD | mean ± SD | |||
AHD1 | Positive (n = 63) | 72.4 ± 7.6 | 52.4 ± 8.8 | 17 (27%) |
Negative (n = 53) | 66.8 ± 10.3 | 52.0 ± 8.0 | 3 (6%) | |

AHD: Arm span-height difference, WOD: Wall-occiput distance
1AHD positive: ≥ 4.0 cm, AHD negative: < 4.0 cm.
2WOD positive: ≥ 5 mm, WOD negative: < 5 mm.
3P-value by t-test or chi-squared test.
