Q

Why does the SI joint turn into a fibrous joint in 70% of the population between ages 40-45?

A

Around this age we lose muscle mass and as a result the support that is normally provided by muscles to the join does not exist anymore; since we need a lot of stability in this joint the solution is to turn into fibrous joint.
