Erector spinae muscle area

1. Acute care decreases erector spinae muscle area in humans (estimate -1.836, 95% CI -2.507 to -1.165).

   “only the erector spine muscle significantly declined (estimate value: -1.836, 95% CI: -2.507 to -1.165).”

1. Erector spinae muscle area lowers the risk of 90-day mortality in humans (OR 0.929, 95% CI 0.878-0.983, p = 0.011).

   “ESMA (OR: 0.929; 95% CI: 0.878-0.983; p = 0.011), and ESMD (OR: 0.947; 95% CI: 0.913-0.983; p = 0.004), but not PMA, were independent risk factors for 90-day mortality”

1. Erector spinae muscle area lowers the risk of vertebral compression fracture in humans (adjusted HR = 0.2, 95% CI: 0.1-0.7).

   “Large area of the erector spinae (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] = 0.2, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.1-0.7) and high bone attenuation (adjusted HR = 0.2, 95% CI: 0.1-0.5) were independently associated with VCF.”
