Abstract
Spinal degenerative changes are prevalent among middle‐aged adults, contributing to a significant decrease in quality of life. This cross‐sectional study aims to assess the extent and patterns of these changes within this demographic. A total of 180 middle‐aged adults were recruited for this study. The inclusion criteria were individuals aged 40‐60 years, presenting with or without symptoms of spinal degeneration. Exclusion criteria included those with a history of spinal surgery or trauma. Data were collected through MRI imaging, physical examinations and questionnaires to assess spinal health. The study utilized descriptive statistics and logistic regression to analyze the data. Preliminary findings indicate a high prevalence of degenerative spinal changes in the population studied, with variations in severity and location. Further analysis will elucidate the factors associated with increased risk of degeneration. This study underscores the widespread nature of spinal degenerative changes among middle‐aged adults and highlights the need for early detection and intervention strategies.
