Lower osteoporotic-like vertebral fractural deformity (OLVF) prevalence and severity among older Thais and Indonesians than among older Chinese
The prevalence and severity of radiographic OLVF show a weak trend of 'Chinese > Thais > Indonesians', both for older women and for older men. The results of the current study support the notion that 'populations from a warmer climate have better spine health'.
