Abstract
Introduction:
Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a common worldwide disease in adults over 50 years of age. The clinical diagnosis at the beginning of the disease is very difficult, even impossible, without typical symptoms and image changes. Mathematical models for searching risk factors include analysing medical history data, comorbidities, biochemical and instrumental results.
