Abstract Background Aging is associated with muscle atrophy, as typified by sarcopenia. Loss of abdominal strength can cause wall laxity. The purpose this study was to investigate the relationship between sacral vertebra–abdominal distance (SAD) and movement performance using a simple lateral spine X-ray image for measuring SAD. Methods In retrospective study, we included women aged ≥ 65 years who were attending outpatient clinic osteoporosis at our hospital. A total 287 patients (mean age ± SD, 76.8 7.1 years) measured SAD in analysis. Patients divided into two groups based on cutoff (160 mm) (75 years), respectively. examined two-foot 20 cm rise test, 3 m Timed Up Go (TUG) two-step open-eyed one-leg standing time, spinal alignment. Normally distributed data are expressed means (standard deviations) non-normally medians (interquartile range), depending results Kolmogorov–Smirnov test. Student’s t -test χ2 test used between-group comparisons. Regression analysis performed objective variable. two-sided p < 0.05 considered statistically significant. Results shorter group better TUG time ( 0.001) well 0.01) compared longer group. Spinal alignment than group, sagittal vertical axis 0.001), smaller pelvic tilt greater slope 0.05). Conclusion posterior parameters. addition testing osteoporosis, parameters should be evaluated have (≥ 160 mm study). new assessment method, further research required verify its validity reproducibility. This first attempt determine how affect older adults.
