The relative contribution of disc and vertebral morphometry to the angle of kyphosis in asymptomatic subjects

In order to investigate the relative contributions of vertebra and inter-vertebral disk to kyphosis, a series of 100 asymptomatic healthy women (age range 39–91 years) were studied to evaluate lateral dorsal appearances and possible related parameters of bone loss. Subjects underwent lateral dorsal...

Zusammenfassung:In order to investigate the relative contributions of vertebra and inter-vertebral disk to kyphosis, a series of 100 asymptomatic healthy women (age range 39–91 years) were studied to evaluate lateral dorsal appearances and possible related parameters of bone loss. Subjects underwent lateral dorsal spine radiography and single photon absorptiometry of the radius. There was a significant decrease in physical height in relation to age ( P
