As the gateway of nutrient supply, the vertebral endplate is essential to maintain the integrity and function of the avascular intervertebral disk. While a link between calcium deposition in the endplate and disk degeneration is well established from histological studies, findings on the association between endplate thickness and age and disk degeneration are conflicting. Moreover, the association between endplate bone mineral density (BMD) and disk degeneration remains unexplored in humans.
