Lumbar Muscle Degeneration
The effect of age, gender, and race on lumbar muscle volume and fatty degeneration are not well understood.
67y Female Asian 72y Male Caucasian
SUBJECTS
ü Caucasian and Asian Patients from US and Japan.
ü Degenerative lumbar disease underwent single level (L4-5) fusion.
ü Pre-operative MRI Magnetom 1.5T, Siemens
ü Exclusion Criteria: Past Lumbar Surgery
METHODS

DISCUSSION
CONCLUSIONS
ü Lumbar muscle volume was larger and fatty degeneration was less in Caucasian than in Asian.
ü Muscle volume and quality was related to aging independent from race and gender.
