Effect of Age on Active and Structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging Lesions in Sacroiliac Joints of Healthy Individuals and Patients With Nonspecific Back Pain
SIJ MRI data from healthy individuals and NSBP controls did not indicate progressive increases in structural lesions with increasing age categories when standardized definitions for axSpA lesions were adopted. MRI cutoffs for structural lesions denoting axSpA discriminated equally well between axSpA and NSBP across all age categories.
