Hypermobility syndrome is recognized much more often in patients with spinal pain syndromes, than in patients treated because of other diseases (7.9% i 0.7%) and twice more often in females than in males (69.7% i 30.3%). Among young people, under 30 years of age hypermobility occurs in 55% of population with SPS. In the youngest patients HMS may be the cause of overload spinal pain syndromes, and a predisposition factor towards spinal pain syndromes in older patients.
