ConclusionsType II changes are the most common, followed by type I. Modic changes mostly occur in L4/5 and L5/S1; young, male, lower-grade disk degeneration, normal physiological curvature of the lumbar spine, and normal endplate concave angle were associated with type I changes; gender and lumbar curvature were the most relevant factors for different types.
