Outline of Final Research Achievements

This cross-sectional study was part of a large-scale population based Japanese cohort study named Research on Osteoarthritis/osteoporosis Against Disability (ROAD)from 2005-2007. Of the 1,690 inhabitants who underwent radiographic spinal examination, 1647 inhabitants (573 men and 1074 women, mean age 65.3 years) were finally included. The overall prevalence of DISH was 10.41% and was significantly higher in men (21.35% in men, 4.55% in women; p<0.0001). We clarified that DISH was related to CTX-Ⅱand thoracic hyperkyphosis using follo up survey.
