Potential physiological determinants of diagnostic discordance between an MRI-derived lumbar vertebral bone quality score and DXA T-scores.
Lumbar VBQ-DXA discordance is associated with a physiological signature characterized by triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, glycation burden, and conjugated bilirubin, which may complement VBQ by identifying metabolically vulnerable, marrow-related bone quality changes that are not fully captured by DXA-derived T-scores.
