Overview
The incidence of lumbar stenosis in the general population is between 1700 and 8000 per 100,000 and it increases from the fifth decade of life. The prevalence of spinal stenosis in the US community based sample is approximately 4710 per 100,000 and 26200 per 100,000 for relative and absolute stenosis in the 60–69 year-old age group. Patients of all age groups may develop spinal stenosis. The incidence of spinal stenosis increases with age. There is no racial predilection to spinal stenosi.
