Autio E, et al. - This study draws on data from the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1986, with a final sample size of 375 people, researchers illuminated the potential changes in the dimensions of the lumbar vertebrae during early adulthood via performing lumbar magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) when the participants were 20 and 30 years of age. Regarding the increase of dimensions, some differences between men and women were discovered. It was noted that men had a higher growth rate in vertebral depth and cross-sectional area (CSA) than women. The results revealed that vertebral dimensions increase after 20 years of age among both sexes.
