Introduction: The lumbar spine's convex curve maintains an upward orientation by making up for the sacrum's tilt position. Inter-vertebral shearing arises due to an increase in non-normal forces acting between adjacent vertebrae as a function of the angle of inclination of vertebrae relative to the horizontal. Objectives: To measure the LLA according to different age groups and different sex in patients with low back pain in standing position and comparison of LLA in different age groups and different sex with low back pain patients. Materials and methods: The subjects were recruited from NIMS Hospital. The data, demographics, Cobb’s angle were measured after taking informed consent from 600 subjects of different age groups and sex. Result: This study included 600 samples in which 323 were males and 277 females. The descriptive stats of age and LLA was (43.832 ± 15.46) and (36.26 ± 12.45) respectively. Association between age and LLA in both gender was (for male, correlation 0.0131, t-test value 0.234, p-value-0.81508), (for female, correlation -0.0884, t-test value 0.786, p-value -0.43203). Conclusion: Our study also demonstrated that LLA differed by gender and was shown to be higher in female participants having complain of low back pain. Additionally, our research found no significant association between age and LLA in patients with low back pain.
