Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a deformity characterized by three-dimensional changes in the spine. Different degrees of curvature may occur, which are measured using the Cobb angle, an effective method to measure its curvature, its progression and define the best treatment. Because AIS generates changes in posture, it can have a harmful impact on the quality of life of these people, affecting them both psychologically and physically. Objective: To verify whether the degree of curvature interferes with the quality of life of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional study of a retrospective nature. Patients with idiopathic scoliosis of the adolescent, of both genders, aged 10 to 17 years, with Cobb angles between 10° and 45°, with no history of surgery, were included. The teenagers were divided into two groups according to their Cobb angles. Quality of life were assessed using the SRS-22 questionnaire. The significance value was 5%. Results: There were no significant differences between groups A and B for the variables pain, function/activity, self-image/appearance, and mental health. Conclusion: Based on the data obtained in the study, it was observed that there was no difference in quality of life in the domains of pain, function/activity, self-image/appearance, and mental health, when comparing light and moderate curvatures in individuals with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
