Among asymptomatic volunteers, increased OD-CSVL was significantly associated with increased age, increased BMI, and ethnicity, but not gender. OD-CSVL correlated strongest with C7-CSVL, TL cobb angle, OD-knee, and CAM-knee. OD-CSVL. These results support further study of OD-CSVL in symptomatic adult spine deformity patients.
