Variations in thoracic spine morphology exist across human populations; however, comparative studies evaluating detailed metrics are limited, preventing establishment of definitive population patterns and clinical norms. This study analyzed thoracic vertebral body dimensions across three global population groups to quantify anatomical differences and explored correlations with respiratory disease.
