Description
Tobias Stumpf and colleagues link back muscle traits and bone texture to spine fractures in a 2026 scan study. Fracture prediction in osteoporosis is still weak, and muscle traits are left out of standard tools. Data came from the AGES-Reykjavik cohort, with CT scans of the first two lumbar vertebrae in 486 women and 340 men.
Fifty measures covered bone density, inner bone texture, and muscle size, density, and fat, beside age and body mass. Step by step models narrowed those measures to test how well each set separated people with existing fractures, 96 women and 78 men in the group. The work checks whether muscle and texture add signal beyond density alone.
