Effect Of Age

It has been previously suggested in the literature that with aging, degenerative changes as well as disc herniation start at the lower lumbar segments, with higher disc involvement observed in an ascending fashion in older age groups. We conducted a study to investigate this correlation between age and level of disc herniation, and to associate it with the magnitude of the Lumbar Lordotic Angle (LLA), as measured by Cobb’s method. We followed retrospectively lumbosacral spine MRI’s of 1419 patients with symptomatic disc herniation. Pearson’s correlation was used in order to investigate the relationship between LLA, age, and level of disc herniation. Student’s -test was applied to assess gender differences. Young patients were found to have higher LLA (, ) and lower levels of disc herniation (, ), whereas older patients had higher level herniation in lower LLA group (mean LLA 28.6° and 25.4°) and lower level herniation in high LLA group (mean LLA 33.2°). We concluded that Lumbar lordotic Cobb’s angle and age can be predictors of the level of lumbar disc herniation. This did not differ among men and women (, ).

The Relationship

Little is known about the effect of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation (LDH) on lumbar bone mineral density (BMD), and few previous studies have used quantitative computed tomography (QCT) to assess whether the staging of LDH correlates with lumbar vertebral trabecular volumetric bone mineral density (Trab.vBMD). To explore the relationship between lumbar Trab.vBMD and LDH, seven hundred and fifty-four healthy participants aged 20–60 years were enrolled in the study from an ongoing study on the degeneration of the spine and knee between June 2014 and 2017. QCT was used to measure L2–4 Trab.vBMD and lumbar spine magnetic resonance images (MRI) were performed to assess the incidence of disc herniation. After 9 exclusions, a total of 322 men and 423 women remained. The men and women were divided into younger (age 20–39 years) and older (age 40–60 years) groups and further into those without LDH, with a single LDH segment, and with ≥2 segments. Covariance analysis was used to adjust for the effects of age, BMI, waistline, and hipline on the relationship between Trab.vBMD and LDH. Forty-one younger men (25.0%) and 59 older men (37.3%) had at least one LDH segment. Amongst the women, the numbers were 46 (22.5%) and 80 (36.4%), respectively. Although there were differences in the characteristics data between men and women, the difference in Trab.vBMD between those without LDH and those with single and ≥2 segments was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). These results remained not statistically significant after further adjusting for covariates (p > 0.05). No associations between lumbar disc herniation and vertebral trabecular volumetric bone mineral density were observed in either men or women.

AbstractPurposeThis paper was designed to critically provide empirical evidence for the relationship between temperature and intensity of back pain among people with lumbar disc herniation (LDH).MethodsDistributed lag linear and non-linear models (DLNM) was used to evaluate the relationship between lag-response and exposure to ambient temperature. Stratification was based on age and gender.ResultsWhen daily average temperature was on the rage of 15-23□, the risk of hospitalization was at the lowest level for men group. About below 10□, risk for male hospitalization could keep increase when lag day were during lag0-lag5 and lag20-lag28. 40<age≤50 group was little affected when they exposed to ambient temperature.

Abstract Background The influence of spinopelvic morphology on the Chinese elderly LDH population was not clear. The purpose of this study is to explore its influence on the characteristics of lumbar disc herniation or degeneration. Methods 212 elderly patients with LDH and 213 asymptomatic volunteers were involved. Spinal parameters were measured on full-length X-ray and compared between two populations. In herniated group, sagittal profiles were determined according to the Roussouly classification, the degenerative grades, the herniated location and the number of intervertebral lumbar disc degeneration were evaluated from the L1 to S1 on MRI scans. The differences on them among Roussouly types were analyzed. Results There were no significant differences in BMI, the mean value of age and sex distribution between two populations. Patients were found to have significantly smaller TK, LL, and SS than those volunteers (p < 0.05), while contradicting observations on PT and TPA were obtained (p < 0.05). Roussouly type 1 and type 2 ( 50.4% and 28.7% respectively) are predominant in the LDH population and the proportion of type 1 in elderly LDH is further increased. Subjects with LDH in type 1 and 2 had lower mean herniated locations and fewer mean herniated numbers than those with type 3 and 4. Conclusions Sagittal spinopelvic parameters were found to be significantly different in elderly LDH patients and asymptomatic volunteers. There were significant differences in the Roussouly distribution among different age groups of LDH. Different Roussouly subtypes have different effects on lumbar disc degeneration and herniation.
