Article Synopsis
  • This study examines how marathon running impacts lumbar spine health, focusing on injuries and disc degeneration.
  • It compares 54 amateur marathon runners to 30 healthy participants using advanced imaging techniques to assess fat fraction, cross-sectional area of muscles, and T2 relaxation times of intervertebral discs.
  • Results indicate that marathon runners had notable differences in fat fraction and muscle cross-sectional area, suggesting changes in lumbar spine and surrounding tissues related to their running activities.

 The genesis of both osteoporosis and sarcopenia is multifactorial, complicated, and interrelated. The present study has been undertaken to analyze the prevalence of low bone mineral density (BMD) and the pattern of imaging markers of sarcopenia (paraspinal skeletal muscle area [SMA] and skeletal muscle index [SMI] with respect to clinicodemographic profile in middle-aged patients (30-45 years) undergoing evaluation for low back pain (LBP).  Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lumbosacral spine and/or sacroiliac joints was done on 3T MRI.

Purpose: To determine the relationship between trunk muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) measured using trunk computed tomography at the time of injury and gait ability at discharge.

Methods: This multicenter retrospective cohort study was performed in comprehensive rehabilitation units of four hospitals in Japan. The study included 442 patients with hip fractures who underwent surgery (bipolar hip arthroplasty or open reduction and internal fixation) and were hospitalized for treatment between January 2020 and January 2023.
