Do women have more vertibrae than men? We have a discussion going at the office we need help aswnering.

The vast majority of men, and women have five lumbar vertebra, occasionally a person may have six due to a congenital deformity. This does not necessarily mean that you will develop back problems, however there is evidence that people with six vertebra suffer from increased rates of some disorders like scoliosis, i suggest if you have an extra vertebra take good care of yourself and get some sensible exercise.
