A dowager's hump (also known as hyperkyphosis) refers to a curvature of the spine often caused by the advances of osteoporosis, which causes the sufferer to stoop over. It can also result from abnormal vertebrae and weak spine muscles. In many cases, you can prevent a dowager's hump by practicing good posture and regular exercise.
