Purpose To investigate the pelvic incidence (PI)- and age-related cervical alignment changes of Chinese healthy population. Methods Six hundred and twenty-five asymptomatic adult subjects, who underwent the standing whole spinal radiograph, were recruited in this work. The sagittal parameters were m...
