A 10-yr retrospective review of 460,964 admissions to a 1,000-bed community teaching hospital identified 555 patients with a diagnosis of cervical spinal stenosis. Of this number, 118 were classified as "young." With an occurrence rate of 26 per 100,000, in this series there was not a significant difference in sex throughout the decade. During the first 5 yrs of this study, 186 patients with cervical spinal stenosis were identified, of whom 37 were <51 yrs of age. Of 369 patients in the remaining 5-yr period with cervical spinal stenosis, 81 were <51 yrs of age. The proportion of those <51 yrs old between the two 5-yr periods was not statistically different. Although spinal stenosis, both cervical and lumbar, has been regarded as a disorder of the elderly, 21% of those with cervical spinal stenosis and 10% with lumbar spinal stenosis can be anticipated to be <51 yrs of age.
对一家拥有1000张床位的社区教学医院460964例住院病例进行的10年回顾性研究发现，有555例患者被诊断为颈椎管狭窄。其中，118例被归类为“年轻患者”。在本系列研究中，每10万人中有26例的发病率在整个十年中性别上没有显著差异。在本研究的前5年，共识别出186例颈椎管狭窄患者，其中37例年龄小于51岁。在剩余5年期间的369例颈椎管狭窄患者中，81例年龄小于51岁。两个5年期间年龄小于51岁的患者比例在统计学上没有差异。尽管颈椎管狭窄和腰椎管狭窄都被视为老年人的疾病，但预计21%的颈椎管狭窄患者和10%的腰椎管狭窄患者年龄小于51岁。
