Effect of Age and Lordotic Angle on the Level of Lumbar Disc Herniation
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.
