What are the impacts of adult kyphosis?
Answers
Kyphosis is usually caused by severe calcium deficiency during childhood. Common symptoms include chest deformities leading to pigeon chest and thoracic deformity, which may compress the lungs and heart, causing respiratory and heart problems. Additionally, skeletal joints may also deform, especially the lower limbs may develop into X-shaped or O-shaped legs, affecting normal walking. It is recommended to regularly test children for trace elements. If calcium deficiency or thoracic deformity is detected, calcium supplementation should be timely, and taking oral calcium gluconate and vitamin AD may help improve symptoms.
