Adult spinal curvature refers to the natural or abnormal curvature of the spine in adults, which can manifest as conditions like scoliosis, kyphosis, or lordosis. In contrast, a fetus has a different spinal structure; it typically has a C-shaped curvature that evolves as the fetus grows and the body develops. This fetal curvature is crucial for accommodating the developing organs and preparing for postnatal life, while adult spinal curvature can indicate underlying health issues or changes due to aging, injury, or disease. Thus, the differences lie in their structure, function, and implications for health.
