Multivariate logistic regression analysis for the osteoporotic compression fracture risk according to quantity and quality of multifidus muscles

Variables Fracture Risk
Crude Adjusteda
OR (95% CI) P value OR (95% CI) P value
CSA of multifidus on L4-5 1.00 (1.00, 1.00)† 0.25 1.00 (0.99, 1.00)† 0.38
on L5-S1 1.00 (0.99, 1.00)† 0.33 1.00 (1.00, 1.00)† 0.10
PMF of multifidus on L4-5 0.88 (0.84, 0.92) < 0.05* 0.87 (0.82, 0.92)† < 0.05*
on L5-S1 0.92 (0.89, 0.95)† < 0.05* 0.91 (0.88, 0.95)† < 0.05*

OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; CSA, cross-sectional area; PMF, percentage of muscle fibers in the multifidus muscle calculated by subtracting the fat area from the CSA and multiplying it by 100

* P < 0.05

† P value of Hosmer and Lemeshow goodness-of-fit tests > 0.05
