As the level of kyphosis may progress over time, also the level of pain may increase. We evaluated the prevalence of Scheuermann\u2019s disease, and their pain, in Swedish elderly men.Patients and methods:\u00a0The Osteoporotic Fractures in Men (MrOS) Study Sweden (n = 3,014) is a population-based prospective observational study of community-living men aged 69\u201381 years. At baseline, participants answered a questionnaire including history of neck\/back pain during the preceding year and characteristics of any pain (severity, sciatica, and neurological deficits). Lateral thoracic\/lumbar spine radiographs were taken of 1,453 men. We included the 1,417 men with readable radiographs. Scheuermann\u2019s disease was defined as 3 or more consecutive vertebrae with &gt; 5\u00b0 wedging with no other explanation for the deformity.Results:\u00a092 of the 1,417 men (6.5%, 95% confidence interval 5.3\u20137.9) had Scheuermann\u2019s disease. 31% of men with and 31% without Scheuermann\u2019s disease reported neck pain (P = 0.90) and 51% with and 55% without the disease reported back pain (P = 0.4). Among men with Scheuermann\u2019s disease and back pain, none reported severe pain, 57% moderate, and 43% mild, compared with 7%, 50%, and 44% in those without Scheuermann\u2019s disease (P = 0.2). In those with Scheuermann\u2019s disease 63% reported no sciatica, 15% sciatica without neurological deficits, and 22% sciatica with neurological deficits, compared with 56%, 16%, and 28% in those without the disease (P = 0.6).Conclusion: The prevalence of Scheuermann\u2019s disease in elderly Swedish men is between 5.3% and 7.9%. The condition seems at this age not to be associated with neck or back pain.\n\u00a0<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2340\/17453674.2023.12358","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,12]],"date-time":"2023-05-12T08:17:55Z","timestamp":1683879475000},"page":"236-242","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["In old men Scheuermann\u2019s disease is not associated with neck or back pain: a Swedish cohort study"],"prefix":"10.2340","volume":"94","author":[{"given":"Anette","family":"J\u00f6nsson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Henrik","family":"Damm","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mehrsa","family":"Hofvander","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bj\u00f6rn E","family":"Rosengren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Inga","family":"Redlund-Johnell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Claes","family":"Ohlsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dan","family":"Mellstr\u00f6m","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0616-5928","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Magnus K","family":"Karlsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1183","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"32252","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Gaud\u00e9 M, Chapurlat R, Pialat J B, Szulc P.
