Popis: Objective: To explore the relationship between different indicators of the degree of fat infiltration and L4 Degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis (DLS). Methods: 128 patients received annual health check-up underwent lumbar lateral Digital Radiography (DR) and abdominal Computed tomography (CT) imaging were enrolled. The DLS group included 60 patients diagnosed with DLS, and the control group included 68 patients without DLS. The data collected included vertebral density of L4-L5, fat infiltration ratio (FIR) of paravertebral muscle (PM) and psoas major muscle (PMM), skeletal muscle density of PM and PMM, low attenuation muscle ratio (LTR) of PM and PMM, paraspinal muscle density (PMD), psoas major muscle density (PMMD), low attenuation muscle density (LMD) of PM and PMM, facet joint angle (FJA), facet joint degeneration (FJD), etc. Results: PM FIR and PM LTR were weakly positively correlated with the degree of L4 DLS, and there was a weak negative correlation between PMD and the degree of L4 DLS in asymptomatic adults (P
