Degenerative changes to the thoracolumbar spine including the costovertebral joints. could someone explain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

These are most : Likely normal age related changes that can be accelerated by being obese, a smoker or having a family history of arthritis. Generally, these are more apparent in men v women at an earlier age but more prevalent as we enter middle age with this increasing with age. Most do not have symptoms.
