Body Composition and Incident High‐Intensity Back Pain and/or High Disability: A 10‐Year Prospective Population‐Based Male Cohort
In a population-based sample, without severe back pain and disability, in older men aged ≥60 years, higher lean mass was protective of incident high-intensity pain and/or high disability. An increase in BMI, over 5 years, equivalent to 3.1-kg weight gain, was associated with incident back pain related high disability 10 years later. These results demonstrate another detrimental consequence of weight gain and highlight the importance of maintaining muscle mass in older men.
