The influence of different genders on the relationship between the size and density of paravertebral muscles and subcutaneous adipose tissue and the proximal femoral bone in elderly people with hip fractures

In the FNF group, the size of the lumbar paravertebral EM in elderly women, rather than their density, was positively correlated with the BMD parameters of the proximal femur. The size of the lumbar paravertebral EM may serve as a more clinically significant target for preventing FNF in elderly women.
