Correlation Between Spinopelvic Parameters, Body Mass Index, Waist Circumference, and Chronic Non-Specific Low Back Pain
We found a significant correlation between PI, BMI, and WC. This finding is the first step in confirming our hypothesis that a patient with a high PI might be able to tolerate being overweight and a high WC better than patients with a low PI, possibly because of their ability to retrovert the pelvis to a greater extent. Further research is warranted to investigate whether people with a high pelvic PI can better cope with obesity, especially those with a higher waist circumference and abdominal weight.
