Clinical TrialFatty infiltration of paraspinal muscles is associated with bone mineral density of the lumbar spine.
A total of 88 subjects were enrolled to investigate the relationship between paraspinal muscle fatty infiltration and lumbar bone mineral density (BMD) using chemical shift encoding-based water-fat MRI and quantitative computed tomography (QCT), respectively. A moderate inverse correlation between paraspinal muscle proton density fat fraction and lumbar QCT-BMD was found with age, sex, and BMI controlled.
