Analysis and comparison of the trends in burden of low back pain in China and worldwide from 1990 to 2021
Although China's LBP burden has declined, it remains significant among middle-aged and elderly populations, with women disproportionately affected. Public health efforts should focus on ergonomic improvements, promoting physical activity, and accessible nonpharmacological treatments. Integrating LBP care into primary healthcare is vital to mitigate its impact and support the aging population.
