Calf circumference as a simple tool versus chest-CT derived skeletal muscle index in assessing osteosarcopenia and one-year outcomes in osteoporotic vertebral fractures
Chest-CT derived T12 SMI defined osteosarcopenia is associated with re-fractures in OVF, while CC provides a simple and sensitive screening tool for osteosarcopenia patients, particularly in fracture patients without markedly high AC.
