Age-Related Changes and Spinal Sagittal Alignment in Asymptomatic Community Dwelling Adults Over 50.
Monocentric, retrospective, cross-sectional study. ⋯ Our study provided a normative age-related value of spinal sagittal parameters.

This study offered insights for spine surgeons in preparing for surgical corrections.
