What is The Change of Cervical Spine Alignment Along with Aging in Asymptomatic Population: a Preliminary Analysis about?

## Study design: A cross-sectional study. ## Objective: To investigate the correlation of cervical spine alignment changes with aging in asymptomatic population. ## Background: Previous studies demonstrated the influence of lumbar and thoracic spine on cervical spine alignment, but few has reported the cervical spine alignment change along with aging in asymptomatic population. ## Methods: Asymptomatic population were divided into four groups according to different ages (group a: ≤20 years; group b: 21-40 years; group c: 41-60 years; group d: ≥61 years). each group was composed of 30 subjects. the following parameters were measured: c0-1 cobb angle, c1-2 cobb angle, c2-7 cobb angle, c1-7 sagittal vertical axis (c1-7 sva), c2-7 sva, central of gravity to c7 sagittal vertical axis (cg-c7 sva), thoracic inlet angle (tia), neck tilt (nt), cervical tilt, cranial tilt, t1 slope (ts), ts-cl, and anova statistical method was used to analyze the differences among four groups, and then, linear regression analysis was performed to analyze correlation of the cervical spine alignment with the aging. ## Results: C1-7 sva, c2-7 sva, cg-c7 sva, tia, nt, ts, and cranial tilt were found statisticall
