Brief summary

Gynoid Lypodystrophy (cellulite) is a common dermatological alteration. Its presence and severity have been related to many factors as biotype, age, sex, circulatory alteration and some authors have suggested also a relation with some mechanical alterations like the hyperlordosis. The objective of this study was to correlate the cellulite grading with the angle of lumbar lordosis in asymptomatic women.

Interventions

The volunteers were evaluated by using photograph, palpation and thermograph Therefore the cellulite grading was classified in 1,2,3 and 4. ). The volunteers performed the x-ray in lateral view and the angle of lumbar lordosis was measured by using Cobb’s method (inferior endplate of T12 and superior endplate of S1). All the procedures were done at the same day. It takes one year to finish the 50 voluntaries.
