Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the association of OW, HT, DL, and IGT with DD. The DD in the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar region was separately served as an objective variable. DD = disc degeneration, OW = Overweight, HT = Hypertension, DL = Dyslipidemia, IGT = Impaired Glucose Tolerance. Overweight was diagnosed as BMI ≥ 25, Hypertension was diagnosed as systolic BP ≥ 130 mm Hg and/or diastolic BP ≥ 85 mm Hg, DL was diagnosed as serum HDL-C level < 40 mg/dl, Impaired Glucose Intolerance was diagnosed as serum HbA1c level ≥ 5.5%

OR = odds ratio, 95% CI = 95% confidence interval
