Fig. 2From: Characterisation of the correlation between standing lordosis and degenerative joint disease in the lower lumbar spine in women and men: a radiographic studyCurve plots of the correlations between CA values and ALDI-Lower Lumbar scores revealed the CA values that corresponded to minimal DJD in this region of the spine. They also demonstrated that ALDI scores increased equally in relation to hypo- and hyper-lordosis in women (whether young or old), but in men they increased much more sharply in relation to hypo-lordosis and only in the older age groupBack to article page
