Back fat on MRI may reveal hidden bone and muscle risks
NCT ID NCT07238777
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 100 postmenopausal women aged 60-80 to see if the amount of fat in their back muscles is linked to bone density and muscle loss (sarcopenia). Researchers used MRI scans to measure back muscle fat and compared it with bone density tests and physical performance. The goal is to better understand how muscle and bone health are connected, which could help doctors spot problems earlier.
