 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 27 Multiple factors affect the analysis of thoracic kyphosis Author: Wang Ran Yan Bai Jinzhu Kuo Chai Wei Zhang Guoqiang, Wang Jindong Abstract [Objective] To study the thoracic kyphosis with sex, age, the relationship between the vertebral body and intervertebral disc shape. [Method] A retrospective study, collecting samples of 61 cases of sex, age information and thoracic MRI films. Measurement of vertebral body on the computer, around the edge of the intervertebral disc height and Cobb  s corner, to around the edge of the vertebral body and intervertebral disc height ratio of vertebral body and intervertebral disc shape on behalf of, Cobb  s on behalf of thoracic kyphosis angle. By Pearson  s correlation analysis and stepwise regression analysis the correlation between them. [Results] thoracic kyphosis of the vertebral body shape and the relevance of relatively large, relatively speaking, intervertebral disc and relevance of thoracic kyphosis is relatively small. Women, 81% of the thoracic kyphosis and the vertebral body and intervertebral disc shape on. Men, 72% of the physiological thoracic kyphosis and the vertebral body and intervertebral disc shape. [Conclusion] The normal thoracic kyphosis from vertebral body and intervertebral disc shape and a common decision, especially women, thoracic kyphosis and the vertebral body and intervertebral disc shape more closely. Keywords: multi-factor analysis of thoracic kyphosis Multiplicity of influencing factors in thoracic kyphosis ∥ Abstract: [Objective] To examine the relationship of thoracic kyphosis with gender, age, shape of thoracic vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs. [Method] The gender, age data and MR films of Thoracic spines of 61 cases were collected in a retrospective study. The MR films were scanned into computer.Vertebral and disc morphology, as represented by antero  posterior height ratios, were quantified in computer.Kyphosis was
