Fig. 2: Distribution of kyphosis and lordosis.
From: Characterizing aging-related genetic and physiological determinants of spinal curvature
a Kyphotic and lordotic angles as a function of age, stratified by sex. Spinal curvature increases with age in both sexes with approximately the same slope, but kyphotic and lordotic angles are greater in females. Confidence intervals represent SEs. b Prevalence of hyperkyphosis and hyperlordosis increases by age category. c Mean age increases jointly in higher kyphotic and lordotic angle categories.
