The incidence of lumbar degenerative disc disease in the U.S. military is higher than other degenerative conditions, with increased age being a significant risk factor.

Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis and its relation to back pain among older men: the MrOS Study.

DISH prevalence is high in elderly men, increases with age, and is positively associated with BMI and blood pressure, with lower self-reported back pain frequency in those with DISH compared to those without DISH.

Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH): relation to vertebral fractures and bone density

DISH is associated with a higher prevalence of vertebral fractures in elderly men, and lumbar ossifications related to DISH should be considered when interpreting BMD measurements to predict fracture risk.
