Although the Cobb angle did not predict falls in community-dwelling older men over 3 years, the blocks method of measuring kyphosis was predictive of falls in this population. This difference could be due to the Cobb angle's focus on thoracic kyphosis, whereas the blocks method may additionally capture abnormal cervical spine curvature.
