Age, gender, and BMI are all factors that may affect the lumbar vertebra fat content. These factors should be considered in the analysis and evaluation of lumbar vertebra fat content in different individuals.
Figure.1 Distribution of lumbar vertebral body FF values in different age groups in males and females
Figure.2 The scatter chart of correlation between lumbar body FF value and BMI. Figure A shows that the FF value of male lumbar vertebrae is moderately correlated with BMI (r=0.668, P=0.005). Figure B shows that the FF value of female lumbar vertebrae has no correlation with BMI (r=0.214, P=0.395).
