| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We constructed a method for determining muscle and fat tissue area in the spinal erector spine muscle group by secondary use of computed tomography images of abdominal area undergone in daily medical practice in the postmenopausal women patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Compared to non-fractured subjects, the patients with vertebral fracture had a significantly higher area of fat-containing tissue and a lower region of non-fatty muscle in perirhinal muscle named "back muscles," unlike the counterpart comparison of abdominal erector spinal muscle called the major psoas muscle.
We hope that these findings serve establishment a strategy for the prevention of osteoporosis by enhancing the muscle mass of the perirhinal muscles of the spinal column.
