Abstract

We have related the radiographic width of the psoas muscle to age, degree of osteoporosis, height, and weight, and to constitution in 234 subjects. The psoas width correlated well with age. When the subjects were grouped according to age, an association was observed between narrowing psoas width and increasing osteoporosis. Narrowing of the psoas was evident some years prior to radiographic evidence of osteoporosis.
