Age
Spondylosis is a phenomenon of aging. With growing age, the wear and tear of the spine’s bones and ligaments lead to spur formation (osteoarthritis). The intervertebral disks are also degenerating and weakening with advancing age, which can lead to bulging discs and disc herniation. It is prevalent to have spondylosis. Signs and symptoms of AS are often first reported to GPs and other health care providers between the ages of 25 and 50. In X-ray research, more than 80% of individuals over the age of 40 have evidence of spondylosis. The rate at which spondylosis happens is linked in part to both genetic predisposition and spinal injury.
