No.
Scoliosis is when your spine curves. It can be cause by sitting and standing with bad posture.
The word "scoliosis" comes from the Greek language meaning "curvature"
yes
If the scoliosis is so severe that there is injury to the spinal cord, paralysis could result.
you cant cause scoliosis, it either runs in your family or you just get it.
Yes, Scoliosis can cause headaches, depends on the type of curve and how bad it isScoliosis affects more than just the spine!
If elderly people have scoliosis they wont die unless there scoliosis is 50 to 60 degrees or more then it might cause breathing problems.
Usually Scoliosis doesn't cause any fatigue. I have Scoliosis myself, but sometimes it feels like i have weight on my shoulders or back. My Doctor says that it shouldn't be causing to much pain if any at all, So there you have it :)
No. Scoliosis is usally caused by a birth defect showing up around adolesence.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ this is actually incorrect. IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS HAS NO KNOWN CAUSE you CANNOT get it from 'bending over too much' or 'carrying a heavy bag' you will get it regardless. other forms of scoliosis however have known causes yes it happens more in girls than boys, 2% of healthy boys will get scoliosis where as the percentge of girls is much much higher when i say healthy boys, i mean boys who have no health problems / disabilities scoliosis seems to go hand in hand with heart conditions other muscular diseases such as muscular distrophy / ostrophy etc. people often perk up at that when i say 'health problems' note, this does not include any mental illnesses such as depression or anxiety. mostly just heart and muscle conditions. (although scoliosis can cause other mental conditions to arise, sadly)
