Fig. 1 Angle of the thoracic kyphosis, lumbar lordosis, sacral inclination, and spinal inclination were measured as spinal posture (A). ROM of the thoracolumbar spine in the sagittal plane was measured as spinal mobility (B).

Fig. 2 Distribution of anterior inclination of the spine in standing position (A) and spinal mobility (B) in each of the no progression (white) and progression groups (gray). Boxplots with upper and lower bars showing maximum and minimum values. Upper, middle, and lower lines in the box show 75th, 50th (median), and 25th centiles, respectively. The circle in the box shows the mean value. When adjusted for age, BMI, and minimum JSW at baseline, larger anterior inclination of the spine (P = 0.028) and less spinal mobility (P = 0.037) were statistically significantly associated with hip OA progression.
