AIM: This study was done to determine the association between @entity1643 and @entity174 , @entity1798 ( @entity1798 ) @entity5040 and spondylolisthesis among adults. METHOD: This case control study was done in @entity3595 Lanka. Cases were @entity1 with @entity1643 and controls were without @entity1643 . Postero-anterior and lateral radiographs of lumbar sacral spine of both groups were studied. To detect @entity174 in fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae, anterior and posterior heights of vertebrae were measured using a Vernier caliper and antero-posterior ratio (A/P) was calculated. Having an A/P ratio value of < 0.89 was considered as a @entity174 . Presence of disc space @entity5040 and spondylolisthesis was assessed by two radiologists working independently. Bivariate and logistic regression analysis was done to find associations. RESULTS: There were 140 cases and 140 controls. Mean (SD) age for cases was 51.6 (17) years. Mean (SD) age for controls was 50 (15) years. Females made up 62% of cases and controls. @entity174 (odds ratio [OR] = 10.2; P = 0.001), fourth lumbar @entity174 (OR = 2.5; P = 0.017) and @entity1798 narrowing (OR = 4.15, P = 0.009) had a significant association with low back @entity158 and spondylolisthesis did not have a significant association with @entity1643 . CONCLUSION: Only @entity174 and @entity1798 narrowing had a significant association with @entity1643 .
