Comprehensive Diagnostic Value of Vertebral Bone Quality Scores and Paravertebral Muscle Quality Parameters in Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures

The predictive value of MF CSA in anticipating OVF was marginally superior to that of VBQ and MF DFF. Furthermore, the concurrent utilization of VBQ and MF CSA substantially enhanced the diagnostic accuracy of OVF. Considering that both VBQ and MF CSA can be opportunistically obtained during routine examinations, individuals with a VBQ ≥3.46 and MF CSA ≤11.83 cm² should be categorized as high risk for OVF, warranting timely preventive measures.
