Objectives: Osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs) are a critical public health concern requiring urgent attention, and severe OVFs impose substantial health and economic burdens on patients and society. Analysis of the risk factors for severe OVF is imperative to actively prevent the occurrence of this degenerative disorder. This study aimed to investigate the risk factors associated with the severity of OVF, with a specific focus on changes in the paraspinal muscles.
Methods: A total of 281 patients with a first-time single-level acute OVF between January 2016 and January 2023 were enrolled in the study. Clinical and radiological data were collected and analyzed. The cross-sectional area (CSA) and degree of fatty infiltration (FI) of the paraspinal muscles, including the multifidus muscles (MFMs), erector spinae muscles (ESMs), and psoas major muscles (PSMs), were measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the L4/5 intervertebral discs. According to the classification system of osteoporotic fractures (OF classification) and recommended treatment plan, OVFs were divided into a low-grade OF group and a high-grade OF group. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyse s were performed to identify risk factors associated with the severity of OVF.
Results: Ninety-eight patients were included in the low-grade OF group, and 183 patients were included in the high-grade OF group. Univariate analysis revealed a significantly higher incidence of a high degree of FI of MFMs (OR = 1.71, p = 0.002) and ESMs (OR = 1.56, p = 0.021) in the high-grade OF group. Further multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that a high degree of FI of the MFMs (OR = 1.71, p = 0.002) is an independent risk factor for the severity of OVF.
Conclusion: A high degree of FI of the MFMs was identified as an independent risk factor for the severity of OVF. Decreasing the degree of FI in the MFMs might lower the incidence of the severity of OVF, potentially reducing the necessity for surgical intervention in OVF patients.

Recent developments of detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) provide multifractal/multiscale (MFMS) descriptions of the heart rate self-similarity, a promising approach to cardiovascular complexity. However, it is unclear whether the MFMS DFA may also describe the nonlinear components of heart rate variability. Our aim is to define MFMS DFA indices for quantifying the short-term and long-term degree of the heart-rate nonlinearity and to apply these indices to detect possible sex-related differences.

Background: Flatfoot deformity is thought to affect gait kinematics, but the effect of flatfoot on segmental motion of the foot during gait remains unclear. Recently, multi-segmental foot models (MFMs) have been introduced for the in vivo analysis of dynamic foot kinematics. The objective of this study was to find the effect of flatfoot on segmental motion of the foot during gait in females by comparisons with age and gender controlled healthy adults.
