Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the spine. It is a type of arthritis, in which spine bones grow or fuse together, causing the spine to become rigid. Symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis include pain and stiffness from the neck to the lower back, bony fusion, and pain in the ligaments and tendons. These symptomatic changes may be mild or severe, and may lead to a stooped-over posture. The prevalence of ankylosing spondylitis is seen in about 0.1% to 0.5% of the adult population worldwide. It can occur at any age irrespective of gender; however, higher prevalence has been observed among males between the ages of 15–30 years.
