Age decreases paraspinal muscle cross-sectional area in humans (p < 0.01).
“Paraspinal muscle CSA showed a significant inverse correlation with age (p < 0.01).”

Modic changes are associated with paraspinal muscle cross-sectional area in humans (p < 0.05).
“Modic Type II changes were the most common and correlated with lower paraspinal CSA and greater LF thickness (p < 0.05).”
