Purpose We investigated the involvement of sarcopenia in middle-aged and elderly women with degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS). Methods A total of 971 women (mean age 70.4 years) were included in our study. These included 87 cases of DLS (mean 73.8 years) and 884 controls (69.8). Lumbar and femur BMD was measured for all participants using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. We used a bioelectrical impedance analyzer to analyze body composition, including appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (SMI; appendicular lean …
