Compared with control, DSI patients have degeneration and fatty infiltration of the lumbar paraspinal muscles. The degeneration and fatty infiltration are risk factors influencing disease severity. The total rmCSA and total FI can be used as an indicator to determine whether a patient has severe DSI.
