Objective: To determine the association between spinal kyphosis deformity and trunk muscle mass in patients with vertebral compression fracture (VCF).
Methods: 118 female patients with VCF were included in the study. The change in sagittal vertical axis (SVA) from admission to discharge (admission-discharge) was assessed for spinal kyphosis deformity. Skeletal muscle mass was evaluated by assessing the amount of change in skeletal muscle index and trunk muscle index at the time of admission and discharge using a body composition analyzer. For activities of daily living, functional independence measure (FIM) gains were evaluated from admission to discharge. Multiple regression analysis was performed to examine the factors affecting spinal kyphosis deformity, with SVA change as the objective variable and changes in skeletal muscle index, trunk muscle index, and FIM gain as the explanatory variables.
Results: Trunk muscle index change and FIM gain were extracted as factors associated with SVA change.
Conclusions: Spinal kyphosis deformity in female VCF patients was associated with the amount of change in trunk muscle mass and FIM gain.
