  Background: Impaired blood flow as a result of arteriosclerosis facilitates degenerative changes in the spine. However, associations between Lumber Spinal Stenosis (LSS) and some chronic diseases (hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidaemia) remain unclear. Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify association between degenerative lumber spinal canal stenosis and systemic diseases [Diabetes Mellitus (DM), Hypertension (HT) and hyperlipidemia]. Study Design: A cross-sectional prospective analytics study. Methods: Total 105 patients (37 males and 68 females) diagnosed with LSS using the clinical diagnostic support tool and magnetic resonance imaging to measure the dural sac diameter and spinal canal diameter (Central stenosis, spinal canal diameter <10 mm Diameter). We investigated the prevalence of some chronic diseases (hypertension,.. Read More»
