根据内分泌会出版的一项研究中国临床内分泌和新陈代谢杂志CHINESE。

当脊柱坍塌的骨块或椎体时发生椎骨骨折，这会导致严重的疼痛，身高畸形和损失。这些骨折通常由骨质疏松症（弱，脆弱）引起。Covid-19患者中椎体骨折普遍，可以影响心肺功能和疾病结果。

"Vertebral fractures are a marker of frailty, and for the first time we show that individuals who have such fractures appear to be at increased risk of severe COVID-19," said the study's corresponding author, Andrea Giustina, M.D., Director of the Institute of Endocrine and Metabolic Sciences of the San Raffaele Vita-Salute University and IRCCS San Raffaele Hospital in Milano, Italy. "A simple thoracic X-ray can detect these fractures and morphometric evaluation should be performed in COVID-19 patients at hospital admission."

研究人员研究了114名Covid-19患者的X射线并检测到胸部椎骨骨折35％。这些患者更老，受到更大的影响高血压和心脏病。与没有骨折的人相比，它们更有可能需要呼吸机并且与死亡的可能性是死亡的两倍。死亡率较高耐心严重骨折。
