A total of 88 subjects were enrolled to investigate the relationship between paraspinal muscle fatty infiltration and lumbar bone mineral density (BMD) using chemical shift encoding-based water-fat MRI and quantitative computed tomography (QCT), respectively. A moderate inverse correlation between paraspinal muscle proton density fat fraction and lumbar QCT-BMD was found with age, sex, and BMI controlled. Purpose To investigate the relationship between paraspinal muscle fatty infiltration and lumbar bone mineral density (BMD). Methods A total of 88 subjects were enrolled in this study (52 females, 36 males; age, 46.6 +/- 14.2 years old; BMI, 23.2 +/- 3.49 kg/m(2)). Proton density fat fractions (PDFF) of paraspinal muscles (erector spinae, multifidus, and psoas) were measured at L2/3, L3/4, and L4/5 levels using chemical shift encoding-based water-fat MRI. Quantitative computed tomography (QCT) was used to assess BMD of L1, L2, and L3. The differences in paraspinal muscle PDFF among subjects with normal bone density, osteopenia, and osteoporosis were tested using one-way ANOVA. The relationship between paraspinal muscle PDFF and QCT-BMD was analyzed using linear regression with age, sex, and BMI variables. Results PDFF of the erector spinae, multifidus, and psoas of subjects with normal bone density were all significantly less than those with osteopenia and those with osteoporosis (all p < 0.001). There was an inverse correlation between paraspinal muscle PDFF and BMD after controlling for age, sex, and BMI (standardized beta coefficient, - 0.21 similar to- 0.29; all p < 0.05). Conclusions Paraspinal muscle fatty infiltration increased while lumbar BMD decreased after adjusting for age, sex, and BMI. Paraspinal muscles and vertebrae are interacting tissues. Paraspinal muscle fatty infiltration may be a marker of low lumbar BMD. Chemical shift imaging is an efficient and fast quantitative method and can be easily added to the clinical protocol to measure paraspinal muscle PDFF when the patient underwent the routine lumbar MRI with low-back pain.
