Normative values of cervical sagittal parameters vary by age and sex. The CL, cSVA, and T1S, C2-4 Cobb angle changed with increasing age, and it can influence the recruitment of compensation mechanism. Normative CL of Chinese adults was predicted by the equation CL = T1S-14.7° ± 1.2°, which could serve as a reference when planning for cervical surgery.
