摘要

Key Points:

“Burden” refers to a combination of how common low back pain is and how much health loss it leads to.
Our study found that if society could directly address three major risk factors – obesity, smoking and workplace ergonomic factors – it could cut the burden of low back pain by 39%.
Similarly, obesity is associated with other unhealthy lifestyle factors, all of which can increase the risk of low back pain.
Given our finding that hundreds of millions of people live with low back pain, it’s clear that more research is needed to identify effective preventive strategies.
