Association between bone mineral density and lumbar disc degeneration

Highlights • Higher lumbar BMD was associated with more severe disc degeneration. • There was no significant association between femoral neck BMD and disc degeneration. • Degenerative changes may falsely increase the BMD values in the lumbar spine. • Lumbar spine BMD may not be a good indicator of o...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • Higher lumbar BMD was associated with more severe disc degeneration. • There was no significant association between femoral neck BMD and disc degeneration. • Degenerative changes may falsely increase the BMD values in the lumbar spine. • Lumbar spine BMD may not be a good indicator of osteoporosis for elderly. • Femoral neck BMD may be more reliable than lumbar BMD in postmenopausal women.
