Abstract
Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate if the grade of lumbar disc degeneration. Intervertebral disc degeneration is acommon degenerative disease.Material and Methods: A retrospective analysis on 34 males and 48 females with intervertebral discs degeneration and a mean age of51.5 years. Using MRI, the grade of lumbar intervertebral discs degeneration was assessed according to the Pfirrmann classification.Results: There was a high correlation (R =0.385) and significant association (pearson correlation, p < 0.01) between L3/L4 discdegeneration and the aging. There was also a high correlation (R =0.56) and significant association (pearson correlation, p
