  Back pain due to vertebral fracture is a common expression of this disorder, yet surprisingly little information is available regarding the incidence of vertebral atrophy in older persons. [annals.org]

  A lumbosacral film was taken of all patients, who were then divided into two groups: patients with no back pain were graded as 0, 1 by Seville's index (normal group); and those who had frequent and longstanding back pain were graded as 2,3,4 by Seville's [healio.com]
