RESULTS Volunteers had a mean age of 26.1 ± 4.4 years and a mean body mass index of 20.7 ± 1.9 kg/m2. The data were statistically analyzed using ANOVA and Spearman’s correlation. The volunteers underwent a lateral-view X-ray, and the angle of lumbar lordosis was measured using Cobb’s method (inferior endplate of T12 and the superior endplate of S). Analyses were performed on the superior, inferior, right and left buttocks (SRB, IRB, SLB, ILB), and the superior right and left thighs (SRT, SLT). The degree of cellulite was classified on a scale of 1–4. METHODS Fifty volunteers were evaluated by digital photos, palpation, and thermograph. OBJECTIVE To correlate the degree of cellulite with the angle of lumbar lordosis in asymptomatic women. Its presence and severity have been related to many factors, including biotype, age, sex, circulatory changes, and, as some authors have suggested, mechanical alterations such as lumbar hyperlordosis. It occurs mainly in adult women and tends to gather around the thighs and buttocks. INTRODUCTION Gynoid lipodystrophy ( cellulite) has been cited as a common dermatological alteration.
