Results: The number of screened cases was 97(12.6%) and after radiology was done, 30 were identified as being afflicted with scoliosis. Finally the prevalence of scoliosis in this study was 3.9 percent of which (3.25%) had cobb's angle below ten degree and only five cases (0.65%) had cobb's angle above ten degree. In this study there was statistical significant difference between student that perform regular aerobic exercise against those who did not perform this exercise.
