The measurement of vertebral height ratio. The vertebral height (VH) is the distance between the midpoints of upper and lower endplates of the index vertebra on the lateral views. The VH ratio of the index vertebra was then calculated as the VH of the index vertebra (A) divided by the average of the VHs 1 level above (B1) and below the index vertebra (B2).
