How long does it take for disc narrowing to occur?

Depending on what type of work you perform, the time will vary. If you perform a lot of heavy lifting and do a lot of bending and twisting, then I would expect you to show signs of disc narrowing when you reach your mid 30's-40's. If sedentary work (without being overweight), then perhaps in your 50's... Hope this helps...
