Investigating the Associations between Lumbar Paraspinal Muscle Health and Age, BMI, Sex, Physical Activity and Back Pain using an Automated Computer-Vision Model: A UK Biobank Study

The role of lumbar paraspinal muscle health in back pain (BP) is not straightforward. Challenges in this field have included the lack of tools and large, heterogenous datasets to interrogate the association between muscle health and BP. Computer-vision models have been transformative in this space, enabling the automated quantification of muscle health and the processing of large datasets.
