Curves of over 20° occur in 1-2 per thousand boys and 4-5 per thousand girls. 65% of all cases are idiopathic (cause not known). Most scoliosis occurs in girls at the start of adolescence.

Scoliosis may also develop as a result of congenital malformations of the spine, such as hemi-vertebra or fused vertebrae, or in association with spina bifida, polio, ataxia and brittle bones."

Two surveys by the Pew Internet & American Life Project in November 2004 found that 8 million people say they have created one and almost one-third of Internet users say they read one. But it's still a mystery: Six-of-ten Internet users say they don't know what " blog " means. A blog , according to Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary, is " a Web site that contains an online personal journal with reflections, comments and often hyperlinks provided by the writer.
