Age-related changes in cervical sagittal alignment: A radiographic analysis
Spine Sep 27, 2019
Tang R, et al. - Through a retrospective cohort study of 151 individuals with lateral cervical spine radiographs taken between December 2017 and June 2018, researchers recognized age-related alterations in cervical sagittal parameters using standard radiographs. Positive associations between age and C2-C7 Cobb angle, upper C7 slope, lower C7 slope, and T1 slope were discovered. In the linear regression analysis, the upper C7 slope and lower C7 slope had the strongest relationship with age. In terms of C2-C7 Cobb angle, upper C7 slope, lower C7 slope, and T1 slope, the analysis of variance determined important variations among the age subgroups. Significantly higher C2-C7 Cobb angle, upper C7 slope, lower C7 slope, and T1 slope was noted in patients > 64 years old. Therefore, alterations in cervical sagittal alignment with age are identified by progressed cervical lordosis and increased thoracic kyphosis.
