of pain (infrequent localized, frequent localized, frequent localized and radicular) was statistically not possible becauseof the low pain incidence. However, no subjects had radicular pain, and only three had frequent localized pain among the 63 who had narrowed disk spaces. Of this latter group 31 had narrowed foramina as well, and 23 had intraforaminal bone spurs. Age correlatedhighly significantly with positive X-ray findings, and just better than chancewith pain. There was no correlationbetween overweight and X-ray findings or pain. There was a better than chance correlation between heavy work and X-ray findings, but not with complaint of pain. Hypertrophic changes in facet joints were seen in only two subjects,who were not complaining of pain.
