Age and Gender Based Spinopelvic and Regional Spinal Alignment in Asymptomatic Adult Volunteers: Results of the Multi-Ethnic Alignment Normative Study (MEANS)

Conclusions. LL did not change with increasing age in asymptomatic volunteers. However, TK did increase with age leading to an increase in T1-slope and a compensatory increase in cervical lordosis. TK did not correlate with PI and was an independent variable in the prediction of LL. Level of Evidence. Level II—prospective cohort study.
