This study aims to assess the quality of lumbar and abdominal core muscles through elastography and evaluate its impact on vertebral fracture risk. This tudy's secondary objective is to investigate the relationship between muscle quality, as measured by elastography, and balance and quality of life. The fundamental questions that this study aims to answer are as follows: Does the quality of lumbar and abdominal core muscles, as assessed by elastography, affect the risk of vertebral fractures? Is there a relationship between muscle quality (as measured by elastography) and balance and quality of life in older adults?
