What is Age and Gender Based Spinopelvic and Regional Spinal Alignment in Asymptomatic Adult Volunteers: Results of the Multi-Ethnic Alignment Normative Study (MEANS) about?
## Background: Spinal alignment can have a significant impact on a patient's overall quality of life. predicting the ideal sagittal spinal alignment of a specific individual is still a difficult task. the multi-ethnic alignment normative study (means) investigated skeletal alignment, including the spine and lower extremities, of the largest multi-ethnic cohort of asymptomatic adult volunteers. in this analysis, the authors aim to assess normative values of spinopelvic parameters and the regional cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spinal alignment in asymptomatic volunteers stratified by age and sex. ## Materials and methods: Asymptomatic volunteers between ages 18 and 80 years were enrolled prospectively from centers in france, japan, singapore, tunisia, and the united states. volunteers included reported no significant neck or back pain (visual analog scale ≤2), nor any known spinal disorder(s). all volunteers underwent a standing full-body or full-spine low-dose stereoradiograph. ## Results: Means consisted of 468 volunteers with a mean age of 40.4±14.8 years. mean cervical lordosis from c2 to c7 was -0.4±12.7°. the t1-slope averaged 23.0±7.9° and showed strong correlation ( r =0.87)
