Sleeping <6.55 h per day was associated with a higher risk of low back pain in adults aged over 50 years: a Korean nationwide cross-sectional study
Our findings indicate that shorter sleep duration is a risk factor for LBP in adults aged over 50 years. We revealed an L-shaped association between sleep duration and LBP, with an inflection point at approximately 6.55 h per day. These results underscore the significance of sleep duration as a factor in the risk assessment for LBP.
