Correlation analysis of quantitative MRI parameters.
IVD T2 time | Vertebral body FF | Paraspinal muscle FF | Paraspinal muscle CSA | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Years of martial arts practice | 0.270** | −0.257** | −0.336** | 0.355** |
IVD T2 time | −0.006 | −0.221* | 0.209* | |
Vertebral body FF | 0.314** | −0.110 | ||
Paraspinal muscle FF | −0.622** |
Values are Spearman's correlation coefficient. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01. IVD = intervertebral disc, FF = fat fraction, CSA = cross-sectional area.
