    Abstract:
    To specify shape of the vertebra in relation to age and sex, the authors studied roentgenomorphometric evidence upon examination of the thoracic and lumbar spine in 600 patients over 50. Vertebral deformities were found in 45.1 and 44.5% of the examined males and females, respectively. Changes corresponding to vertebral body fracture were recorded in 12.3% of the males and 15.3% of the females. Age-related trends in the frequency of various defects have been analyzed. The frequency differed in males and females.
