Material and Methods: A retrospective analysis on 34 males and 48 females with intervertebral discs degeneration and a mean age of 51.5 years. Using MRI, the grade of lumbar intervertebral discs degeneration was assessed according to the Pfirrmann classification.
Results: There was a high correlation (R =0.385) and significant association (pearson correlation, p < 0.01) between L3/L4 disc degeneration and the aging. There was also a high correlation (R =0.56) and significant association (pearson correlation, p
Key words: Intervertebral disc degeneration; magnetic resonance imaging; Pfirrmann classification
