    The study analyzed L1 cortical bone parameters in 169 participants to assess their predictive value for osteoporosis.

  • 2

    Significant differences in L1 cortical bone parameters were observed across age groups, showing a decreasing trend with age.

  • 3

    In both sexes, L1 cortical bone parameters decreased with lower volume bone mineral density, indicating a correlation with osteoporosis.

  • 4

    The average thickness, area, and volume of L1 cortical bone demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity for detecting osteoporosis.

  • 5

    The CT spinal bone quantitative system effectively measures cortical bone parameters, aiding in early osteoporosis detection.
