| Year | Measurement of LL | Measurement of SP | Measurement of ASC | Analysis method | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aylott C E W et al.11 | 2011 | L1/S1 (upper endplates) | L1 - L5 | no | Linear regression models |

SP; spinous process, ASC; anterior spinal column.
Aylott et al.11 reported that the rate of increase in SP height was 0.03–0.07 mm/year and that lordosis decreased by 1° on average for each additional millimetre in average height.
